Well, here we go again. Did you ever even get used to writing 2009?

As the years fly by, it seems to take more and more of the calendar to remember every time to write this year instead of last. You know it’s a lost cause, don’t you, when you start absentmindedly writing things like 2003 or worse, 1999 for 2009? And now we have a new year and a new decade to contend with. Honestly, when will it all end? Can’t we just find one good year and adopt good old fashioned conservative principles, refusing to part with it?
