Come, sit down with a tumbler of brandy or a glass of fine wine.
I’ve got some tales to tell you old friend, if you have the time…
Welp, Dear Readers, just like clockwork, the new year is upon us, and beyond wishing a very heartfelt ‘Happy New Year!’, the only other thing I’m really wishing in this moment is that you would join to ponder the year past here at The Point of the Story. ‘Tis it not our time-honored tradition to look back at some of the highlights that we have shared together? Or even better, to give you the chance to catch up on some of my witty and/or heartfelt and/or slightly-bitter-but-with-a-tongue-in-cheek-take posts that you may have missed?
Let’s see…what did we do in 2023 anyways? Oh, that’s right: their were, in fact, some fairly broad strokes that painted the year for us, with the usual odd ‘n ends sprinkled in between.
As you peruse at your own pace the posts presented here within, you’ll get tastes of:
- Remodeling Shenanigans
- Hair-related Adventures (aka Follicle Foibles)
- Health Insurance (or the lack thereof)
- Easter in Kansas
- Forward and Reverse Racism (But The Lite Version)
- Academic Grievances
- …And More!
Of course, this is only a sampling of what all went down over the past 12 months, so feel free to fall down any of plethora of rabbit holes you may find (for example, Easter in Kansas actually spans 5 posts, but only 2 of those were featured here due to space limitations).
Now, without further ado, I present to you: “2023 In A Nutshell”…
