This time it's personal (New Year 2016 edition) Friday, 01 January 2016 00:00:01 CST David-Braverman Geography (0) Happy New Year from the Daily Parker. It's just past midnight in Chicago, so it's the "real" new year for me and everyone I'm with. Here's to 2016 improving on 2015, no matter who you are or how good 2015 turned out.
