When I think of the year 2010, I imagine sitting in a classroom in fourth grade or so, reading one of those Scholastic Weekly Reader things they used to pass out. 2010 is the sort of year they would 'estimate' for completely science-fiction possibilities, like an international space station, or cars that run on batteries, or phone conversations with video, or tiny computers that go in your pocket. It was a year scientists talked about. I don't know if I'll ever get used to writing it on checks.

Context is having trouble facing the future present.
