2008; what can be said? A pretty craptacular year, save for the emergence of Obama, which makes all the crap well worth it.
I have great hopes in 2009 and in the years to come, because of Obama. He's not a messiah, but he is a smart, wise, and thoughtful man who will bring sanity back to our world, and truly begin the 21st Century.
I've come to realize that I will never have a flying car, as so often promised to me in the 1970's;
I've come to accept this, and I'm OK with it.
However, in lieu of this flying car, AND my serene acceptance of lack of said flying car, I would like a rocket pack, similar to but not necessarily the same as, this one.
