I seem to have missed writing up a New Years post. Considering everything that’s been going on lately I’m not surprised, most of it involving snow, the removal of and the recovering after. Something like, “Oh good, another snow storm” and then finding it very difficult to get up before noon the next day.

And then there is this friend of ours who has decided to open up a sports bar/restaurant in the Spring in our ever popular downtown district (all one street and two blocks of it) who needed to install into his new office a desktop computer system. Easy yes?

Well, the obtaining and installation of said desktop was easy enough but trying to get my friend’s head screwed around in such a way so that he actually understood how to turn the thing on without blowing it up was not so easy. If a man and computer were so mutually exclusive as they shouldn’t be allowed in the same building with each other lest horrendous tragedy occur, my friend and his new office computer are the ones.

And  now I have to teach him how to use it. I think I’ll charge him…a lot. Just for the aggravation.

So between the snow and future sports bar follies I’ve been rather busy of late. I finally came to the realization that I had completely missed the passing of the new decade when I sat down to write up the checks for our monthly bills and my computer told me it was January 3rd, 2010.

2010??!! Already? When did this occur for heavens sake?

Oh well, nothing for it then but to wish a belated Happy New Year to all the usual folks, the slightly unusual folks and the definitely unusual folks who have graced this blog with their presence over the past year. I would like to say over the past decade as it sounds more inline with a post concerning 2010 but unfortunately, the site hasn’t been around that long.

So here’s to another very interesting year in this helter skelter world of ours. May we all survive it intact.
