It’s become tradition for me to write a goodbye letter to the year that’s almost over… sort of a silly way of summing up both the good and the bad of the preceding 365 days, while cleansing the palate in anticipation of the coming new year.
I’m not going to do that this year, for two reasons:
- 2020 lasted 92,067 days. I barely remember September, let alone the entire year.
- Every commercial on TV is already recapping 2020 for us ad nauseum, because the only thing better than experiencing 2020 is being reminded how bad much of it was.
So this year, I’m going to do something a bit different. In honor of 2020–this obnoxious, bewildering, dumpsterfire of a year–I’m going to instead leave a review. A Yelp review, naturally.
And that, as they say, is that. The first negative Yelp review I’ve ever left1. Bring on 2021 and the milkshakes2!
Happy New Year, everyone!
In mid-January, I’ll be back with my Goals for 2021!
Newsletter? Newsletter!
If you’ve read this far, you’ve got gumption, kid. In fact, you’re just the kind of person that would make an awesome subscriber to my newsletter. Come join the fun!
And by fun, I mean “be alerted when new books are available.” If this site’s blog posts are my monthly, in-depth, fact-heavy shareholders’ reports, the newsletters are my far-less-frequent, carefully crafted pseudo-tweets, skipping all the nitty gritty to tell you what you actually want to know: what’s new and how you can get it.
I promise that I will never spam you… because spamming takes effort, and I am way, way too busy for that.
