2009 predictions

December 16th, 2008 at 09:30am Georgette Braun

What do you think will happen in 2009? Write your predictions in the comments section at this blog.

Yes, we can all predict sure-to-happen things like: “The sun will rise,” and “The economy will still suck.”

Let’s try to be a little more inventive and specific than that.

A few of my local predictions for next year:

1. Developer Sunil Puri will make more money than me.

2. Rumors will surface (for the umpteenth time) that Rockford Speedway has been sold.

3. Former Judge Paul Logli will find a permanent full-time job.

4. Retired tourism ‘czarina’ Wendy Perks Fisher will again be nominated for the Register Star’s Excalibur Award.

5. Cheap Trick frontman Rick Nielsen will announce his one-day-to-be-built eatery will be shaped like a guitar pick.
