Be gone 2008

I for one won’t be looking back on 2008 with any kind of fondness. I’m eager for this bear of a year to be gone and over with.

You bet I’m expecting 2009 to be different and better. What choice do I have? Hope springs eternal, and is so much more fun than pessimism.

I’m counting on there being magic in the simple turning of a calendar page. In fact, I’m thinking of having a calendar-burning party just to rid the world of 2008. Just put all of those 2008 calendars in one big pile and set them ablaze.

In fact, I’ve already started using the 2009 calendar. Sure it’s a little confusing. This might be Tuesday or Wednesday for all I know. Fridays are always best. It is worth a little confusion to get an advance on ridding our lives of 2008.

Think about this year locally (and excuse me while I vent and get this year out of my system so I can at last get the Christmas spirit).
