Goodbye, 2017. In many ways, you were so much worse—but sometimes better—than I could have imagined.
One thing that was always great, though, was all the support from my readers. Thank you for all the encouragement, suggestions and enthusiasm. You folks make all the work worthwhile. See you in 2018!
