2010: A Space Odyssey

Ms. Smallwood is very upset right now. She was my 5th grade teacher at Lakeview Elementary School and I distinctly remember the theme paper: “What will the world be like in 2010?” I think the entire class (including myself) wrote about hoover boards, teleportation devises, flying cars, and living on mars. I am very sad to announce that nothing I anticipated as a 11 year old has come true: no automatic food cookers, closets that pick out your clothes, or robot dogs.
I hope your New Year is full of promise, full of hope, and full of new adventure. Maybe not to Mars, but somewhere just as exciting ;0)
Maybe like to Russia?
