Friends,
I know that you’re sick and tired of 2016. How could you not feel beat down by so much death, destruction, hatred and betrayal? You thought you could count on your fellow Americans to do the right thing and so many of them failed you. Failed us. Failed, in the end, themselves.
You’re tired and just want it to be over. Well today’s your lucky day! 2016, the year when hope ended, is actually ending in a matter of hours. 2017 will finally be here. Hope won’t be good enough anymore. We’ve got to get up and get to work and fight for every scrap and want every small victory. We can do this.
Tonight I leave you with this wish: that your champagne is filled with horseshoes and your roosters are filled with wonder.
Get some rest. We’ve got a lot of work to do.
Your best pal in the whole wide world,
– bob
