Thursday, April 17th – Hello folks, and welcome to the magnum opus of projects here at the Kitchen Table.

Second, it’s tons of fun to actually read.

Today, two years later, I want to take a look at those predictions and see which came true, and with which I was wrong. Then, after being honest, you’ll have a gauge for my new predictions.
