Surviving 12.12.12

"Survive, stay alive, through the thick and the thin.  Survive, stay alive, until is all ends."  Jimmy Buffett

Wow.  That was close.  After surviving from 01.01.01 to 12.12.12 we can now relax since the next alignment of repeating calendar numbers won't happen until the year 2112.  A date I can predict with absolute certainty that I won't be around to witness.

But good news everyone.  If the Mayan calendar prediction is true none of us will be around then either since the world is once again coming to an end in a few more days.  Ah, if only we could be so lucky.  No remorse for losing a loved one as we expire one-by-one.  No wandering around in a zombie-filled post-Apocalyptic world once the Middle East FINALLY decides to kill each other (and everyone else).  No fiscal cliff....

Side note:  I will admit to not paying close attention to the daily reports on the Presidential election but after spending a reported TWO BILLION DOLLARS collectively on the campaign did the term "fiscal cliff" ever come up?

Anyway, it appears if we survive 12/21/12 there's really nothing else on the Armageddon calendar to worry about.  Except inside the beltway.

So, guess we have to think about working for a living.

So, what are your business plans for 2013 and beyond?  The economy is not going to magically transform itself to the wild and wacky 80's or the delusional dot.bomb days of the late 90's.

It's going to be a time for sense and sensibility.  Fiscal responsibility combined with riverboat gambler nerves.  Loyalist vs. Survivalist.

It's going to be fun.

See you next week........maybe.
