2016 highlight of the year
In a year of death, destruction, horror and politics, as well as personal anguish, highlights were few and far between. But even in the darkness of that began the year - David Bowie's physical death - I found great joy and wonderment in Blackstar, a beautiful gift that kept giving.
prediction for 2017
I see an open road leading to an unknown place. Hopefully in following it, I can find interesting experiences and new stories to tell.
