Just can’t help but notice that 2008 is rapidly drawing to a close. Seems like just yesterday when it was early January, and the year was still toodling around in diapers, and banging into furniture. I could keep it entertained with a ball of yarn and a squeaky toy.

Now, here we are – the last couple of days left in the year, and 2008 is looking out the window, wondering where it will be come January 1. Which is kind-of an interesting question – where DO all the past years go, once they’ve come and gone? I’ve never seen a calendar with two Januarys, so the old year must have somewhere to go, when it has lived out its run??

I wonder if old years go to stay with other things that have faded over time, like Woolworth stores, or Paris Hilton’s recording career?

I wonder if past years travel together, visiting sites overseas with other years gone by – 1999 may be deep-sea fishing off of Cabo with 2004!

There could be the ultimate seniors bus on the road right now, visiting small towns with buffets and bingo halls in Nevada – 1901 sitting beside 1915, talking about that old coot 1887 behind his back. Of course, they could talk about him anywhere – that year is deaf as a portable flashlight.

There are two things that spring to mind after offering up this theory today:

1) I really need to start planning topics for these morning postings ahead of time
2) I hope that the folks at Mac know that I think about them – every single day…

Chow for now!!

PS - it is well worth scrolling down a few days, and reading some of the comments posted there. At least in my own humble opinion...
