Okay 2009. You officially have to show what you're made of. You can no longer bask in the shadow of 2008, hiding your potential in dark seams. 2009, you must now drop everything and get to work. It will be no menial task. Unless someone has been in a coma or tied to a bedpost, everyone knows 2008 had more to handle than it ever asked for. Sure, 2008 saw the election of the first African-American President, but it also dealt with one of the worst economic downfalls.
For Galvestonians, 2008 had a front row seat to watch the most damaging storm to cross our path in over a century. I hope you enjoy your newfound local celebrity status 2008. Is it really worth it?
All said, I welcome you 2009. I applaud your brave stance so far against the struggles you've found forced upon yourself. 2009, you and you alone will oversee the next 363 days. You won't be responsible for anything until your December 31st is X'ed off.
Happy New Year Galveston from IBC!!! What's your relationship with 2009??
I pray that 2009 is much better than the last 4 months of 2008 were Kevin.
I also look forward to more parties and fun with you, Lauren, The MOs and the other IBCers.
I wish you all a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year !
