1990, 2010, 2020..... thats my thinking!
other than that, havent thought about it at all, i think maybe the 2000 disappointment, ie nothing happened, made new years, new decade, a bust!!

Another new decade, nothing too special but I like the concept.
My son will hit 30 in January and be closing on 40 at the end of the decade, grandson 4 and a teenager by the end.
I'm hoping to still be above ground, planning on being retired from work, alternating time between travelling, chilling and spending time with grandkids (plural if the daughter comes to the party)
Politically and socially I'm not optimistic, the generations coming through have only known prosperity. hardship is when the WIFI doesn't work and social media has enabled extreme views on both ends of the spectrum to find echo chambers. I don't think we're in for any dramatic social or political changes in the next decade, I just think it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Technology is an interesting one. Portable electronic devices have taken off and with 5G as an enabler, anything could happen. Cloud based applications, privacy of data, could be interesting.
Sartorially I'l looking forward to seeing how dress codes cope with gender fluidity. I predict it wont be long before the first non binary person who looks male takes the MCC or VRC to court for being told they are male and no entry without a collar and/or tie.
Basically it will be pretty much more of the same, change. Some for better, some for worse

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
