I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a spectacular start to the New Year! Yes, 2017 should have received a speeding ticket, since it went by too fast! And, I'm sure, 2018 will similarly speed along at an unsuitable pace – apparently time flies when you're having fun, or is it just old age? So, it's 2018, and I thought in this month's column I would steer away from the traditional diet of "Here are my predictions for 2018." To be honest, I simply couldn't swallow writing a piece of this ilk, as I'm sure plenty of others will have their own unique perspective.
