A decade gone. I want to opine on what a decade ending means. I want to list my top 10 favorite albums of the last 10 years. I remember what I did at the close of the last decade. It was December 31, 1999. Lisa and I had professional pictures taken at Wal-Mart. We had a sketch drawn at the Mounds Mall. We watched Bicentennial Man at the movie theatre. Then I think we went to an all night party with the North Anderson Youth at Cross Street gym...although I'm kind of thinking that may have been 1998. But the other stuff was 1999. And it seems like a long time ago...but then ten years have passed quickly. It's hard to imagine that another decade could bring so much change and then I'll be 36. To think about the people I didn't know in 1999...many of my best friends today that I didn't meet until I moved into Myers Hall a couple of years later.
So anyway, perhaps I will capture additional thoughts during this decade's waning days. I noticed the other day that one of the first things that happened in the year 2000 was I scored my 1,000 high school basketball point that January. I have two basketballs in the garage...mementos for 1,000 and 2,000 one from the year 2000 and one from 2002.
A rambling jumble of thoughts before bed. (Wow, bed's a lot earlier than it was circa this time in 2005.)
