It has been a truly memorable year with plenty of surprises. I am personally looking forward to 2017, and excited at what it has to offer. I just finished reading the Walter Isaacsson Ben Franklin biography and I have to recommend it to anyone who either has an interest in American history or just would be interested to study the life of one of the most influential business person, philosopher, scientist, diplomat, and civic leader the world has ever known. I even picked up my motto for 2017.
I hope everyone has a fantastic and safe New Year celebration, and cheers to a happy, productive, and prosperous 2017.
