AN OPEN LETTER TO THE NEW YEAR

Dear 2011,

I understand that you look up to 2010 as an older and wiser year, but it is time for the hard truth.

2010 was a jerk.

At the very least 2010 was misanthropic, but I think the true diagnosis would be closer to sociopathic. I think I can speak for my friends and family, certainly for myself when I ask that you consider a kinder and more generous attitude than your predecessor through the next twelve months. We would like to think of you fondly; we would love to think of you with genuine adoration.

Think of it. You could even set an example for the years to come of what a wonderful ride a single course around the sun can be.

Sincerely,

Myles Pinkney
