• It'll be Clinton/Richardson vs. Romney/McCain.
• The boys will add a minimum of six new stamps to their passports.
• The book club will finally read some serious poetry, while sipping Chartreuse.
• Robin will see Ireland.
• The Brewers will finally play in the postseason!
• There will be at least one Al Queda attack on our homeland; a sort of "going away" present for the president.
• The puppy Anke will wonder what happened to all of that lovely, cold, white wet fun fluffy stuff. She'll learn to run alongside a bicycle, and discover the proper place for a dog to take a dump. Goodness.
• Or maybe it'll be Guiliani vs. Obama.
• The earth will continue to warm up, while at the same time it will cool off. Weird, huh?
