I don’t know if this will be my last post of 2021 (it will depend if any important news comes out today)… If this is my last post of the year, I would like to wish you all a safe and happy New Years Eve. I look forward to 2022 and hope that maybe this year we will return to some kind of normalcy.
As a reminder… I hope you can join me on January 4th in celebrating the 8th anniversary of blogging and hearing a special announcement during this one. Live broadcast (at 7h00).
