Best of 2018

December 31, 2018

Man, what a year. It started with the loss of a friend, then terrible grief with another friend; work frustration, then an unexpected career change. But through it all ran a theme of friendship, learning, and growth. And baseball. And—of course—music. Oh, and I also turned 40! I’m looking forward to continued friendship, learning, and growth and baseball in 2019, but for now the journal of my year through music, with a collection of my favorite personal moments. Happy New Year!
