I don't know about you...

...but 2010 is both off to a good start, and simultaneously distressingly similar to 2009. It's a colder year, though - isn't it? A colder decade, probably. But it's already had its share of pleasant surprises. My 13th victory in Minesweeper; the conductor on the train not collecting my ticket; the book of stamps I got for free through a glitch in the stamp machine. I think these are good tidings. Yes, I think it's safe to say this is going to be my year, my decade. In the 'tens, all of my mail will go out. There are no excuses any more, not with free stamps, free transport. No, not with this kind of luck. No excuses.
