New Decade

So the new decade has come. For some reason I keep remembering the end of That 70′s show when all of the kids were sitting around at the stroke of midnight to bring in the 80′s. I do not know if the next ten years will be as fun as the 1980′s were, but I can hope.

I brought in this decade by sitting at home with the little girl watching a really sad Dick Clark bringing in the new year. ABC should put this guy to the pasture, maybe bring him back next year to basically do the countdown, don’t let him talk at all, just let him do the count down. He is a shell of his former self.

I am a little wary of the coming decade. This is going to be the “teenage” years with Molly and if her attitude does not shape up, it is going to be a difficult ten years to say the least.

In 2019 Molly will have spent her first semester in college, i am still pushing for UCLA or UCSD, but we will see how things pan out. In 2019 both dogs if they are around will be 15 years old. In 2019 I will be 47 years old. In 2019, I plan on still being in San Diego, but really, who knows what life will hold and where will be. If you asked me in 1999 where I would be, I would have said Jacksonville, FL, but life threw some curve balls and I ended up back in Southern California.

I want to do certain things over the next decade, I want to be in Time Square for the ball drop, I want to watch the Rose Parade in person, I want to walk the Rose Bowl Parade route again and be on Lake and Colorado Blvd at midnight. I want to finish off a mission that I set out for myself many years ago and to head back to Baumholder and visit Mike’s grave. Nothing I want to do is out of reach, it is just a matter of bearing down and saving the money to do these things.

The energy is there, the will is there, but can I do it, that is the question.
