Ten hopes for the Tens…

In the next decade I hope that…

1. … as my kids go through their teenage years and do as many stupid things as I did that…
a) They survive and are not permanently damaged
b) I can see the context and show understanding

2. … my wife and I are not grandparents by 2020

3. … the wonderful teamwork I share with my wife grows stronger still and we can channel it in some exciting new directions

4. … I get as much fulfillment and enjoyment out of my working life as I have done over the last two decades

5. … those clever genetic scientists create an injection that will give me perfect hearing again

6. …  my parents celebrate 2020 New Year with me

7. … the Western world understands it debt to under-developed nations and helps them to help us safeguard our planet

8. … Web Content Management continues to thrive and prosper and evolve in many exciting new directions

9. … I will be able to wear the dinner jacket I bought in 2000 for the 2020 celebrations (because it certainly doesn’t fit for the 2010 ones 😦 )

10. …  I can give up Twitter and blogging for a whole week without getting uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms

What are yours?…
