Interring ‘08 and piping ‘09 aboard

A happy Hogmanay and New Year’s Eve, folks. I don’t know about you, but I think I’m going to spend the dregs of this annus horribilis (thank you, QE2) counting the hours until the presidential inauguration and hoping for a 2009 that will somehow rescue us from disaster.

Dire as our situation seems, I have to say that I believe this new president has what it takes to make a good difference to our country. But we’re going to have to help him by being willing to live and work more intelligently and less self-indulgently.

It’s truly going to take creative nerve. So I also hope a lot more people discover that they have some. 

That means we can enjoy the celebration tonight, but let’s be darned careful to stay alive and not damage too many brain cells. We’re going to need every last one of them in the next 12 months.  

Best wishes and a guid auld lange syne from me and from Geniocity.com. See you Monday.
