Wow, can you believe that we are almost done with the year of 2013? A year that wasn’t even supposed to happen, (because of the end of the world, remember? 12/21/12) and we are almost to the dawn of a new year. This has not been a year to miss. Wins from those not expected, loses from those who did not deserve it, and lives cut short before their time.
