This is the way I like to imagine myself, heading into the new year: in the command chair, course charted, objectives to reach.
Not a Five-Year mission though. It's another 50.
Wouldn't have it any other way. #LLAP to all my friends. #HappyNewYear @StarTrek
(Thx @WilliamShatner)

God, I miss the rampant availability of the mind-numbing optimism of late 1980's pop music.
I swear this was a cultural feature of the decade that allowed Gen-X to simply press on.
