My first hardcover book. Glossy pages, beautiful photos. Lots of dogs, cats, cars, and only three selfies. Most photography by yours truly. Pretty consistent with who I am, on the whole. A couple of nods to my writing but not excessively so. My biggest bestest book of the year was my grandfather’s World War I diary. Did a couple others but not like this one, hence the cover photo. IIn 2017 I also went through a lion phase, pretty scary to all my friends.

And my stepdaughter Monica got married.

And I’ve been me all year long.

Love it. Thank you, Pat. Over a hundred pages long, lovely, and full of memories of a great year, mostly minus politics and nudity. Just life as we try to live it.
