My turn

Five things that 2002 taught me:

I've been going back and forth all night trying to decide if I'm gonna go out tonight. I'm thinking no...too much travel lately, a quiet night is a rarity lately.

In the meantime, I'll try to be psychic. Something I'm bad at when I try to do it on purpose. I'll be surprised if I hit 25%...

Random Predictions for 2003:
