As we close out 2016, here’s a look back at a few posts from the last 12 months. I’ve done nearly 600 this year alone. Some were excellent. Others were … a little less. Some I thought would be hits, flopped. Some came out of nowhere and surprised me. A little blog history:

January. Half Day Snow Day.

February. The Old Man’s Guide to the Gym.

March. Death at the Academy.

April. A Den of Vipers and Thieves.

May. FDA ASSAULTS CIGAR INDUSTRY.

June. The Battle of Orlando – connected to – My Name is I Pledge of Allegiance…

July. Death of a Facebook Friend. This might have been my highest trafficked article of the year, at least by initial views. And just something I wrote on a whim.

August. Come Out of the Churches, Thou Unclean Spirits.

September. Mapping The Real Vote.

October. The Time I Met Reagan.

November. Ohio State Terrorist Attack Highlights Need For Guns On Campus.

December. Maybe The Russians Are Not THEIR Friends.

And that should be a wrap for 2016.

Next year will be fantastic. See you then.
