BTW, it ISN'T the end of the decade, that won't happen until we get to the end of 2010, when the new decade starts in 2011. The media has a problem realising things like that, just like the new millennium didn't start until 2001. But it is still a good time to party LOL.
We'll be going to a friend's for the evening, not only for New Year's, but a blue moon. It will be a very nice evening. Still have to figure out what I will be taking food-wise.
It's been a very nice week off, I've been puttering a bit, but also getting a LOT of rest. I think I am finally over the crud, tho the cough comes and goes, usually as soon as I go to bed.
Weather has definitely warmed up, our thermometer is currently reading 34F outside. We have a little bit of new snow, but not as much as they had been predicting, which is fine by me since I don't want a repeat of the last couple winters LOL.

Although any period of ten years is a decade,[1][2] a convenient and frequently referenced interval is based on the tens digit of the calendar year, as in using 1960s to represent the decade from 1960 to 1969.[3][4] Often, for brevity, only the tens part is mentioned (60s or sixties), although this may leave it uncertain which century is meant. These references are frequently used to encapsulate pop culture or other widespread phenomena that dominated such a decade, as in The Great Depression of the 1930s. For example, the decade commonly referred to as the "two thousands" ended on December 31st, 2009."

It is odd that the century starts in then "01" year, but the decade starts in the "x0" year, but there it is.
