Lists for 2017

Things I would like to see happen in 2017, in no particular order:

-- True love decides to be crazy enough to take a chance on me.

-- A twenty-five thousand per cent raise.

-- A major tax cut, which could be the equivalent of a twenty-five thousand per cent raise.

-- A major weight cut, to the tune of I-don't-want-to-say-how-many dress sizes.

-- I win every case I take to trial.

-- My heel pain resolves.  (There is nothing like pain in your lower extremities to make you feel old and broken down.)

-- The current crisis in the Catholic Church resolves favorably.

-- We get a daily traditional Latin Mass in Boise.

-- Somebody comes up with a low-cal, superfood version of cheese puffs that is just as tasty and comforting as the junk version.

My predictions for 2017, in no particular order:

-- The crisis in the Catholic Church will resolve not only favorably but dramatically.

-- President Trump will reboot the Dakota Access pipeline project, and look into the possibility of rebooting the nuclear energy industry.  

-- The government of the United Kingdom will continue to try to stonewall Brexit.

-- Angela Merkel will fall amid a national clamor to get Germany out of the European Union.

-- President Trump's approval ratings will skyrocket.

-- The city of Boise will be considered to be experiencing drought conditions despite near-record winter snowfalls.

-- Nobody will come up with a low-cal, superfood version of cheese puffs of any quality.

  1. Nobody will come up with a low-cal, superfood version of cheese puffs of any quality. You can rely on this prediction coming true.

  2. I do hope your first prediction comes true. I think we are in for a heck of a ride this year, on many fronts. Keep your saddle handy and your saddlebags packed.
