The 2019 New Year’s Eve Post It Note

2019… it’s been quite a year, hasn’t it?

This year will soon be one for the record books and we will usher in 2020, with perhaps hope for a smoother ride than 2019 gave us or dread of what is to come.

Whether the coming year is going to be better or worse is yet to be seen, but, either way, I am grateful to be able to spend it with you, our TNB readers. You all keep me sane in a time when sanity is in short supply. I thank you for that!

In lieu of the normal news stories for tonight’s post, here are a few obligatory “looking back” items to enjoy on this last night of 2019.

Happy New Year!
