Happy New Year

Yeah, happy new year. I know it's a bit late, but I've been away. I'll tell you about it, perhaps. Sometime. Anyway, I'm not dead and I'm entering 2010 in a spirit of some hope and optimism. I can only do that with your help, gentle reader. Will you do one thing for me straightaway, please? Will you do all you can to explain to those you meet that the decade (or "decayed" as some will pronounce it), the decade still has eleven months to run? Will you do that? I would be most grateful. Thanks. More later, i hope.
