It is the last day of the year.

Can't decide if it's been a good year or a bad one. It has been a roller coaster filled with ups and downs.

I hurt my knee back in January and had my first operation in March. Then I did a second operation in July. My knee is still not back to 100% as I still have a torn ACL, which I will have to undergo another surgery sometime in 2016.

I am happy to have joined on board Sail eMagazine as a columnist, it is the highlight of the year for me. My column is called "You Have My Word" and it is an exploration with a message about the origins of words, terms, phrases and the stories behind them. I have written so far 3 articles for the magazine: The Butterfly Effect, Breaking the 4th Wall, Language and the Perpetual Winds of Change.Please check them out and let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy them.

I have added new photos from my trip to London, and added a new section for my poetry.

Hope you all have a wonderful 2016.
