We use Holidays as markers in time. The little events that pass or collect.. all lamented or contemplated deeply over the week between Christmas and New Years. Those reflections of themes of the year, the wishes of what we did different.. and the resolutions for the future that undoubtedly will fail miserably by mid-January.

We are collectively creatures of habit.

So in that light, it is a habit that even this website considers these events, perhaps in a bigger picture style.. we review it all. We consider and think .. and predict.

2023 and where it got us? No further than 2022.. And maybe we are still stuck in a kooky weird pandemic mindset. But it sure will never feel like 2019 again. But that was the year that was, then. This is the year that was now.

2024..here we come. Never thought you’d write that year down, did you?

2023 and where it got us
