Sgt Pepper

Its getting to that time of year again. When everyone publishes their "best-of" list and their year-in-review. I'm not sure if its driven by a great human need to reflect back on periods gone by, or more from a lack of media content to fill the pages & airwaves during the holiday season. Regardless, most of the time it drives me nuts and I ignore them.

I've also never been one for celebrations of birthdays, anniversaries, and the like. I realize that many folks (my wife for one) enjoy marking the days with celebration, and that's fine. For me, its just fine to know that people are thinking of me and that's about all.

However, I have this bizarre habit of remembering random anniversaries. Not so much of people, but of events. Like today is the 2nd anniversary of the announcement that eventually freed me from Big Blue and made me an employee of Lenovo. Overall, its been a good thing... although there are still those here who like to point out that the anniversary also coincides with that of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Oh yeah... and I'm not sure if anything really important happened 20 years ago today, but for some reason the song popped into my head when I started thinking about anniversaries.
