Gold shiny ribbons.
Big bright balloons.
Beautiful, blue moon.
A new decade, a quarter of a century passing, and time always moving forward.
A new theme :  slow.  Like the snails and rabbits who always come out ahead.  
A new age.  
 Who are the pioneers of the future?  What are they, or we,  supposed to do in times like these?
The lesson:  keep growing.
