I get very optimistic at the beginning of every year. Always have. I think of all that's transpired and what's to come. I keep thinking maybe, just maybe, THIS year is the year
we finally get it together and everyone plays nice with one other. Maybe THIS year there's that much less suffering depicted on the television. I suppose it's just a pipe dream but, still, I'd really like to see this in my lifetime. Who know, right? Maybe this could be that year...

Anyway, I'm rambling. I'd like to wish everyone a very happy New Year. I sincerely hope that 2018 is a great year for you all.
