2017 may end up being the best year of my life (or right up there) and for that I am thankful for abundant reasons. 

Passing on ample family reasons, 2017 was distinguished by many highlights. Examples follow:

1) Celebrating Gotham's 20th Anniversary at the Harmonie Club
2) My obsession with Yankee rookie Aaron Judge (and enjoying 2 playoff games with Paul Napolitano)
3) Meeting my look a like Jonathan Goldsmith (the "Most Interesting Man in World")

4) Pitching the Gotham Batmen to their first (coed) softball Championship (team pictured above)
5) Enjoying our schnoodle Charcoal in all her sweet splendor
6) Weekend batting practices with my son and grandson
7) Fridays on the Court House Deli Bench
8) The Witches of Eastwick (my 3 wonderful female law partners)
9) Juice Plus enhanced health
10) Gotham's synergistic Tribal Council (Nancy, Debbie, Ben and Mitch)
11) Club Quarters for solving our venue switch (with Norm Spizz guidance)
12) Dana Charlton for all her years of assistance and support
13) Jane Jacobs, my patient IT person
14) My record breaking Friday With Fred blog, an enduring outlet for self expression and slice of life observation
15) Introducing Tiajuana Caravan from the Stephen Talkhouse
Stage

The Year isn't over yet and the list goes on and on...
