Welcome to 2010

New year and new decade. 2010 has got to be better than '09. My life this past year wasn't bad. Just boring.
I didn't even bother to publish my annual YuleBlog for 2009. I tried to think of witty and fun things to write about, but I'm sure I'm not supposed to write about my fantasies in my holiday letter.
Is there a difference between a quiet year and a dull one?
This year could be interesting as I approach the big Five-O.  I don't think about it as getting older, just a newer version. In March, I'll launch "Elizabeth 5.0".  Doesn't that sound better?
