Out with 2016

2016 has been a tough year. The string of celebrity deaths that have only seemed to accelerate as the year races to a close, underscores this sentiment.  

To give the year its due, I know plenty of people have had a great 2016. Even for me, it's made for a number of good memories.

None are enough, however, to overcome the loss of my mother, Mrs Neu. 

Bring me a fresh calendar . . . and a happy new year for everyone.

Bring on 2017
