It's almost the end of the year? How are we doing?

I'm not going to make my goal, but it's been a busy year.

Re: 2016 Yearly Goal

I missed this for 2016 - i would love to join for 2017 though if it happens again

Re: 2016 Yearly Goal

My goal was to match and beat last years goal. My job status changed and I have barely any time to read. I will join for 2017.
