As I outlined in part 1, 2018 wasn’t the smoothest of years. Looking forward to 2019, I’m excited to have a fresh start. There is a lot of change on the horizon, and I’m itching to take things on head first. Life: Conduct 6 Micro Resolutions: These are 30 day challenges designed to shake things…
Read moreUnverifiable Annual Review: Looking Back at 2018
2018 was a year. I can’t really say it was a “great” year. Just a year. 365 days. In reality, 2018 was a bit of a dick. In August, my hometown was hit with a epic flash flood that inflicted $75k of damage to our just-completed lake house (nope, not covered by insurance). We faired much…

2017 is here. When the hell did that happen? In Part 1, I looked back at 2016. In Part Two I try to list out all the things I’ll focus on accomplishing in 2017. I couldn’t be more excited about what the year has to bring. We’ve got a lake house under construction, and our…

Annual Review 2016: Part 1 – The Case for 2016.
2016 you slippery devil. The general consensus is that 2016 was the worst. I tend to disagree. Yes, we had to listen two highly unlikable humans argue for 9 months, withstand non-stop media coverage, our grabby president elect seems to have a fairly loose grip (see what I did there) on reality, and the Gators and…
