One in every crowd, so...
First of all, I wish people would make up their mind. Is it:
12/21/2012?
12/12/2012?
12/21/2011?
12/12/2011?
Bah!
See, I am one who hates crowds, and most of their affects, like waiting in lines, etc. I prefer to "avoid the last minute rush". So... the date I was "given" almost 35 years ago was different.
May 7, 2012
Assuming someone wasn't pulling my lariat, what everyone is expecting in December, will be here in May.
Now, if that is correct then, it means that on 12/whatever, 2012 I will be sitting in a cave on the eastern slope of the Andes, in South America, looking at a bunch of machinery left behind by "the ancients", trying to figure out how they work.
If you have questions, then.... join the club. I've probably asked them several times, over the last 35 years. So far, the most frequent answer is, "You know everything you know to get there." Buncha help, huh?
So, assuming that 5/7/12 proves to be no more challenging that any other Monday (yeah, I looked it up) then 12/whatever will find me on a nice hillside, sitting next to a close personal friend... Jose Cuervo.
