It has been a year. A year for the books. A year to remember. A year that (in years to come) will stand out.
It would be nice to think that at the stroke of midnight December 31, 2020, there would be a sundering of the calendar in such a way as to make January 1, 2021, a proper fresh start. But you and I know the chances of that resemble the proverbial snowball hurtling towards hell.
So . . .
So, I decided to ignore philosophizing over the year in the rearview mirror. And I decided to take the upcoming year head-on by compiling a list of some good, a few crazy, and a dab of thought-provoking quotes for the construction contractors (and others) who drop in on this blog.
