I often think it is cliche the way people sum up entire years, this time of year, but then again, it’s so often done when things aren’t very good.

With great trepidation, I clench my anoos, fearing that there’s still time for more discouraging, cringe-inducing bullshit to occur, and as evidenced by recent events, there’s no such thing as coasting to the finish.
