Notes from Chris
Episode 1093
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: What a year it’s been! Everything will be new in just three days… this was Week 52 of the show, so we have two “straggler days” in Week 52 1/2 coming tomorrow and the next day for New Year’s eve, and then we’ll be jumping into something very new and different. We’ll do this recap a bit different, since it’s the end of the year. It’s now been three years since we started on January 1, 2017. It’s continued because of the commitment and enthusiasm of the community. I’d love to give you some honest lessons learned on my part. Overall I’m thrilled and very happy at what we’ve made here. But a critique is always about looking at what could be improved. (Then from there it’s asking what should be improved, because time is limited.)
