My first blog post on the first day of the new year and the first item of business is -- how to refer to this new year?
Two-Kay-Ten? That sounds so last century, like when we were looking forward to the new millenium and calling it "Why-Two-Kay". It's just not hip anymore.
So how about "Two Thousand and Ten"? Nah. It's just too formal and too long and unwieldy. Plus the visual image I conjure when saying "two thousand ten" has too many zeroes, creating confusion and distraction for my simple mind.
I consulted my trusty go-to girl for such matters, and Maggie confidently declared the new year "Twenty Ten". I like it. And it conjures just the right number of zeroes.
Twenty Ten it is! Happy New Year.
Happy New Year indeed! I'm very excited about the blog. It's like Mom-Mail: only instant. And with pictures (at least I hope sometimes). Having said that: the Mom-Mail doesn't have to stop. :) Happy wishes to the adventures this year will bring. I'm sure there will be many.
