We de-Christmas-ised our house yesterday. The tree is down and up in the attic. All the decorations are boxed up, and in the attic. We worked hard on decorating for the new year. It is very subtle, it looks just like the house normally looks, soon it will be 2019. Wow, that just blows me away. I remember reading 1984 back in Jr. High School and 1984 was several years in the future. Then in 1968 when 2001 A Space Odyssey came out that was WAY in the future. The sequel 2010 came out and that date has blown past. I don't think I will be around for the final book in the trilogy, 3001.
I still laugh at the fact that Stanley Kubrick tried to get insurance against the possibility that extraterrestrials would come to earth, and ruin the plot of his movie. Not one insurance company would write that policy. I hope to live long enough to see proof of any other complex life form in the solar system or the galaxy. I know they will not be coming to visit, it is just too far, but a signal or artifact would be cool.
