This has been a crazy year of ups and downs. The more I think of it, the more I think of the opening to tale of two cities,

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

But its not all doom and gloom. I met a lot of cool people, got to travel around, and spend time with my family. So I am ready to what new things 2017 has in store for us! I look forward to meeting you all and hopefully at some new cons!
