Not bad. I'm kinda proud of me.
I can’t wait to see what next year has in store!

  3. Since my personal goal was a release a month for 12 months...and I hit 13...I'm super happy. Goal exceeded.
    Next year's goal is a wee bit more lofty. Then again, when I set last year's goal, I thought they were lofty so...
