A Wish for Your Last Day on Earth

(Update: We didn't die.)

Since today marks the official End of the World, I want to get an early start in wishing you all a Happy Eternity.

Here's to:

• great food in an all-you-can-because-you-won't-get-fat format, 
• endless vacations to tropical islands with dancing girls and nobody else, 
• families that don't fight, 
• cars that don't break, 
• dogs that don't bark, 
• cats that don't pee on everything, 
• exercise that makes you high,
• diet that fills you with great taste and texture and just the number of calories you need,
• pants and shoes that fit,
• houses with dry basements, 
• neighbors who mow your yard for you,
• politicians who are at least as smart as the people who elected them,
• an endless supply of good hair days, 
• eyes that don't need glasses,
• favorite teams that win it all with last second dramatics, 
• water that is sweet and air that smells of kudzu flowers, 
• rainy days when you want them, 
• good local theater, 
• government that serves the people and not the corporations, 
• people who do the right things for the right reasons, 
• home-grown energy that doesn't pollute heaven,
• spirituality instead of religion, 
• a good sense of humor,
• people who love you all the time,
• and ripe watermelon.
