I wouldn’t call 2015 a fantastic year for humanity in general — “not great years for humanity” has been a bit of a depressing trend recently, hasn’t it — but for me it was certainly a pretty good one, and here at Whatever, I wrote a number of pieces I think are worth remembering here at the end of the year, ranging in topics from writing to politics to online life to beloved pets. As is my tradition on Christmas Eve, here are those entries, this year arranged alphabetically.

- Frightened, Ignorant and Cowardly is No Way to Go Through Life, Son
- Ghlaghghee, 2003 – 2015|Lopsided Cat, 2000 – 2015 (two entries, related)
- How Many Books You Should Write In a Year
- In Which I Select a Current GOP Presidential Candidate to Vote For, 2015 Edition

Let me also take a moment to again note the passing of my friends John Anderson and Jacqueline Kahn. Their memory is a blessing.
And here we go, into the last week of 2015.
