Here's something you can take off your worry list that you probably weren't paying attention to anyway:
I just realized that with the arrival of 2013, a great void will be filled. There will be an end to the lack of a name for the decade. With '13, will be in The Teens!
Don't tell me we had a name for the first decade of the new millennium. We talked a lot about what it would be called, and then it came and instead of calling it something, we just worked around the lack of a name. Don't tell me we called it the "ohs" or the "aughts." We did not. And we entered the second decade of the new millennium with the same problem. 2010, 2011, 2012... Don't tell me we called that the "tens." Obviously, we didn't.
Of course you know what they say about the difficut teen years, all that testing of authority in the struggle between childish impulses and adult responsbilities. But then we'll reach the 20s and grow up. Right.
