Resolution Progress 2017: End
(Original ; First Quarter ; Half ; Third-Quarter ; Final) Well, I knew the goals were going to be ambitious. It is still disappointing that I did not meet them. I have said that the real reason I can read so much is that my time is my own, so I can do whatever I want outside of work. That meant reading…
