How unbelievable is it that it's already coming up to the year that ends the first decade of the Millenium? It feels like only yesterday that I was dancing to 1999 at the end of 1999, not so long before my brother threw up on me while my mother and sister laughed. My family are cruel and unusual. Thinking back about life through the double oh's, a few things stood out:
- what seemed like a disproportionate number of celebrity deaths. That's got to be more dangerous than fishing!
- so much for Merry Christmas, War is Over. I can't remember a year in the last nine where there wasn't a war
- food got scientific, and then it got dull
- more people made like Eve than Adam and took a bite of the Apple
- terrorism became a way of life
- war was accepted as a necessary evil to achieve peace
- political leadership didn't depend on smarts, social skills or experience
- the economy
- bling ...
- ... and the backlash
There's so much more.
On another note, I have a busy, busy January ahead, how exciting!
