2016 over in about 11 hours for me so I took a look at the calendar for this year to see what happened.
January
Daughter #1 turned 27.
February
Grandmother turned 100. Big Party in Oklahoma City. Very cool.
Two weeks for the Mrs. and me on Big Island, Hawaii. Loved it.
March
Turned 53. Wife took me to see Brad Paisley play in down state Illinois.
May
Spent week before Memorial Day in Orlando/Disney World. Nice time with the Mrs.
June
QDiligence exhibited at national conference for Corporate Secretaries (the ones for The Boards, not the other ones) in Colorado Springs and stayed at The Broadmoor. No idea how I’d never heard of that place before but it is A Special Place.
July
10th Wedding Anniversary! Had dinner at Alinea (finally) to celebrate.
September
Labor Day weekend in southern Ohio in a cabin with The Kids. Very fun.
October/November
Cubs won World Series. Hillary Clinton lost the election. Both good.
Grandmother diagnosed with cancer.
Cousin’s husband diagnosed with cancer after they punctured his colon, twice, during a routine colonoscopy.
December
Daughter #2 turned 26.
Mother-in-law fell and cracked her skull a week before Christmas and is living on to tell the tale.
Grandmother still hanging in there. Likely to see 101.
Cousin’s husband making his way through chemo. Likely to see 51.
Kids did Christmas for us here in Chicago.
Business continues to be very good. Our impact on the industry has never been more evident.
We’re gonna’ give 2016 a Rating of…Mixed.
