As of noon today, we are over 36.5 days into this 365 day year -- sometimes I envision the year as being like a computer program which is being installed into our lives, the source code of time itself compiling, every passing day seeing that floating status bar move towards the end of the installation.

As of now, our shared 2015 is 10% downloaded.

Estimated remaining download time? 328.5 days.... give or take a one or two lost here and there in overindulgence-induced stupor.

This is our year. Experiences may vary, but so far I have a wholly hopeful vibe about the year. Like it's going to turn out better than the last one for mankind writ whole. Hope, hope, hope.

And we've got 90% of a year ahead of us to do it in.
