The end of the year has come, which means it's time for reflecting back and imagining what's to come. I feel comfortable making this bold prediction: 2005 will go down in history as The Year That Sucked. I won't rehearse my reasons, as it's still a little early here in Pacific Standard Time to be breaking out the traditional New year's Eve alcohol. Instead I shall pass on to you this hopeful sign of the future. While perusing my favorite Judy Garland fan site, The Judy Room, I saw in the latest news section that the U.S. post office is issuing a Judy Garland stamp for 2006. Indeed, we can expect a bumper crop of excellent commemoratives from the U.S. post office in 2006, with Favorite Children's Book Animals and DC Comic Super Heroes scheduled for issue in the year ahead.
