many people wrote very salient and thoughtful intros to their “well that was 2015” post. <\/p>\n
this was a tough year to try and understand (much less make a kind of peace with) what is happening around the world, in my country, in my city and my hometown. the coming year does not look to change that, and I hope you and yours get through it too. <\/p>\n
here’s some records, and some folks, who deserve note for a positive contribution to my 2015:<\/p>\n

and I was reminded again this year of this classic closing argument:
