Auld Acquaintences

What a year.

• Ups, downs, overs, outs, and everything in between. An historic inauguration, mega-winter storms, H1N1.

• Conspiracy theories, Sarah Palin, Captain Sullenberger.

• New terrorism threats, old wars still going on, health care reform, reformed and to-be-continued.

• The economy.

• Births, deaths.

• Infinity.

All in 365 days.

So wish it farewell. Send it on its way. We have nothing else we can do.

Hold on to the good. Learn from the bad. Seek to find better ways in 2010.
