Default What will 2016 bring?

What do you see for yourself/family in 2016?

For me, the year promises to be somewhat quieter (after celebrating NYE at the 007 Gala downtown tonight). I was very busy this past year taking care of my mother for the first six months (), and the last six months executing both my parents' estates (pretty much done as of last week). Now I will be responsible only for myself. Nice in a way, but certainly different. I expect to have some more work from home, which is good. And the +1 and I will be able to do some traveling now that I have more time - so far Lafayette LA in Mar and the Canadian Rockies by train in May.

I hope it's a happy and healthy one for All Y'all!

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM good question Ms. Perky. My initial response was things probably won't be much different for me in the New Year but I have been casually looking for a new place to live so if I do find a place I like that will be a big change for me. Also if I find a place that is a distance away from where I am now, which is about 5 minutes from my work, I may consider a job change also.

Well, both of those would certainly be big changes!

Five Predictions for 2016:

1. (SPORTS) The Alabama Crimson Tide will win the National Championship. SEC SEC SEC
2. (NEWSWORTHY) A major storm or fire or earthquake or flood or blizzard will rock the Northeast or Southeast or California or maybe Idaho.
3. (VINTAGE) Deb will be in worse shape than Vito after he runs the Zydeco half marathon and she runs into a serious party in Baton Rouge.
4. (ENTERTAINMENT) "STAR WARS Episode IV - The Force Awakens" will create interest in Star Wars-themed merchandise including lawn chairs, shift knobs, and beer koozies.
5. (SAFEST BET) LB's "Next Daily Driver" thread will easily break the 1,000 post barrier. Yet The Legal One will continue to shillyshally over a decision.

Oops. Thanks for the reminder. I would hate to be stuck in Baton Rouge during the event/party.

I'm gonna' guess... higher oil prices.

Oh, and yes, Bill will continue to prevaricate over a proper car-buying decision.

I don't know. 2015 has been a world clsss year for us. 2016 may be a year of change. Our kids are thinking it's time we enjoy the fruits of our labors. We think it's still a lot of fun growing fruit.

Whatever 2016 brings, I'm pretty sure we'll enjoy it.

I hope you do too.

I'm hoping for a calmer new year.
  • Big project at work should be winding down before winter is over. Hope the market does well...could be my last full year of work.
  • My wife enters 2016 with an 18 month contract. Maybe she can actually spend a whole year at one job for a change.
  • Moving her parents out of their home into a Senior assisted living apartment. They seem excited, we can breath a little easier.
  • We're celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2016!
