Dear 21st Century

Dear 21^st Century,

It is very nice to meet you. I missed your housewarming party—please forgive me. The 20^th century lost her coat in the cloakroom. It took me a decade to rummage through it and emerge with the best tiara.

I must say that you still have that nice new century glow about you like the newly engaged, or the newly married, or the newly pregnant, or the newly born.

Thank you very much for the titanium locket. I tried it on. I think we will get along just fine.

Kind regards,

Shannon M. Mullally, Ph.D.
