…you handed me a lot of crap this past year.
You preyed on the health of my parents (making me a nervous wreck), you unleashed chaos in the Middle East, and you bequeathed on us the worst Prime Minister since John Diefenbaker walked the land.

You also gave me much joy…
…such as my summer vacation to England — the best time I have EVER had…you gave me more amazing Doctor Who to enjoy…and the ability to share it with my young students…I became a godfather to a beautiful baby girl…and for all the problems you downloaded on my parents, they have remained healthy.
So…a mixed bag. But (and I’m unable to avoid the cliche)…that’s life. With all it’s up’s and down’s.
What will next year bring? Only way to find out is to charge into it, eyes wide open…
