2010 has  been an incredible year. For me, my blog serves me in a way to keep track of personal events, and our family had many this year. January opened with the excitement of Miquel and his band, Embers For Ashes playing at Rams Head in Baltimore.

Georgie from Australia sent me this funny, with an Orwellian futuristic feel. ORDERING PIZZA IN 2010 This is so close to what is probably going to be happening in 2010 that we're not sure how funny this really is... Operator: Thank you for calling Pizza Hut.
