And now a friendly retrospective on the year 2007
It is difficult for me to believe that in a few hours this year numerically known as 2007 will end and a new year, numerically known as 2008, will begin. For some around the world, the year known as 2007 has already ended. I say it’s numerically known as 2007 because for me, this past year does have a name that is not exclusive to the numbers 0-infinity. It has a number of names, a number of identities, and to go through with all those identities would, quite frankly, take a few thousand words. (So then why did I mention this naming at all…?)
