January 1, 2010: Welcome to 2010!

Hope your hangover isn't too bad.

Hope this year is better than the movie. Nothing against John Lithgow and Roy Scheider, but I don't think our solar system needs a second star. (Wait, Helen Mirren was in that? Wow, don't remember her role at all.)

Hope you start putting the proper year on your checks earlier than you did last year. Hmm, does anyone even use checks anymore?

Hope you keep your New Year's Resolutions longer than last year's.

Here's to the new year!
