Normally, people write this kind of post at the beginning or end of a calendar year. But as an old friend once said, “Paul defines his own kind of normal.” He may have been right, I don’t know. What I do know is that this is definitely a personal list. It consists of posts that either made me laugh, taught me something I didn’t know, or helped me see things in a new light. I hope they do the same for you.Disclosure: I wrote a couple of the posts in question. Because, sometimes, the best way to learn about something or see it in a new light is to write about it. :-)
