“The world will not end on December 21, 2012, or any day in 2012”, assures the US government in its blog.

Who’s more likely to be right, or wrong? The Mayans or the US government?

Just in case the Mayans are right, I have a mile-long bucket list to cramp in less than two weeks. Impossible task, I know. Maybe I can filter my priorities. I can try to do it in an Excel spreadsheet.

You know what? Let’s make it simple: Who can meet me at sundown on December 20th for a farewell drink?

Filling up on booze doesn’t sound like a bad idea since we don’t know how tough the journey to the “other side” will be.

Where? I’ll choose a venue and send you an e-mail. Please RSVP ASAP!

Oh, gosh! I already know what to expect:

“Sorry, I’ll be attending a seminar about the Mayan calendar.”

“Sorry, doctor said I shouldn’t drink.”

“Oh, it’s my company’s Christmas party.”

“I’ll have jury duty.”

“It’ll be raining.” (or too windy or too cold or too muggy or SNOWING!)

AND THE BEST EXCUSE:

“If you postpone it for AFTER the 21st I’ll be happy to come.”

Honestly… I also have so much work and cleaning and laundry and gift shopping and postcards to send and packages and company’s Secret Santa and blablabla before December 21st that I, myself, probably wouldn’t show up.

Frankly, my dear?

I don’t give a damn if the Mayans are right. Sorry, Rhett Butler…
