It’s over. For the second time in 35 years of life I have said “so long” to the year 1996. I have learned a lot over the last 28 days. 1996 was chocked full of exceptional movies and music, was in the jagged, foggy in-between period of 3D-puberty for video games, and was a year mostly void of terrible breaking news tragedies compared to every year since.
