So there it is, 53 out 100. Less than last year, more than the year before that. The goal has always been to hit 50%, so I’m more or less satisfied with the achievement. I’m quite certain I would have hit less than 20 if it weren’t for the list. I’m now entering the eight year of this experiment. Perhaps this is a ten year venture and we are now chugging toward the finish line.  Regardless, I will contemplate the future in front of my Mexican reflecting pool and present you with the 2016 list by year’s end.
