the preview in review

Last December, among other things, I made ten predictions for 2008. Let's see how I did.

National Board certification: done--maybe even passed

Indeed. And, if the Governor's budget comes through, I'll still have my National Board bonus next year--provided I still have a job.

The Celtics: NBA champs.

This was an easy one. They're looking championship-worthy again, with a ridiculous 25-2 start.

Melissa's college degree: attained.

She got a job, too, which is nice, considering that degree comes with an extra added bonus of college debt.

CHS Cougar football: state-bound.

Right again. We lost in the semifinal to eventual champion Bellevue. (No one was going to stop Bellevue.)

Rubik's Cube The Movie: in development.

Not yet. Wait for it.

Late-breaking cold: conquered.

Alas, this was, as I'm sure I must have known, to be a temporary victory.

Tom Tancredo: retired.

Right again, thankfully.

The Mariners: less moribund.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Ahem. Ahahahahahahahaha....

The school year: awesome.

Oh, yeah.

Time: dilated.

Sure seems that way.

More prognostications forthcoming, as always, when the next installment of the world's greatest top ten list comes out. Stay tuned.
