2016 Nearly Over

Many people have taken to calling this year, 2016, some form of catastrophic adjective and even coming up with silly hashtags about it G(ing)TFO.

I was never really a Bowie fan or a Prince fan or a George Michael fan, But Ali was an inspiration, and Carrie Fisher and her mom, Debbie Reynolds, dying within a day of each other was storybook bizarre.

And those were just the deaths that came to the top of my head as typed this. So much death...

And our country's quick slide back to regularity with the election of president Orange Roughy.

But for us, 2016 was pretty freaking great. We have a beautiful son now, and at this time in 2015 we didn't, and that has definitely shaded our view of this year by any measure.

And the Cubbies won the World Series!

Here's a quartet of some of the better material from this year:

1. Conferences: Vacations That Aren't
2. WonderCon 2016
3. Our Biggest Adventure Yet
4. What Have You Done for the Cause Today?

One's about a yoga retreat, one's about a comic convention, one's about the baby, and one's about my late grandfather.

Happy Turning the Page! Happy Life!

Happy Old Year!

Happy New Year!
