Make It Count

It’s not just a new year but a new decade.
Make just one resolution:
one you know you can keep
one you know is important
one you can ask a friend to help you keep it.

That’s one heck of a wise owl.

Yes, I’m aware that some argue that “the decade” doesn’t end until 12/31/2020 since, for instance, “the millennium” didn’t end until 12/31/2000. Depends on what “decade” is being spoken of. The 2010s are certainly over, and no matter how you look at it, it’s clear that 2020 starts the Roaring 20s.

And then, of course, there’s this absolutely definitive word on the subject from XKCD:

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
