Hello, it's me again and also — it's you again! Or perhaps you're brand new here in which case, here we are for the first time, what a pleasure. Welcome to this thing I started doing in 2016, during a time when nothing made sense to me except numbers and it turned out that wow, you really liked numbers, and that makes sense too. So I did it in 2017, a winter too dark to remember and then I did it in 2018 because listen I like to keep a good thing going. Now here I am in 2019, at the mercy of the universe, as we all are, you know? But we do have this: these numbers, the charts and graphs and lists of our lives like sand through the hourglass.
We’d like to politely request that you do not share any of these graphics outside of A+ and instead enjoy them only here on this page right now with us as a family! Okay? You might notice the graphs are cuter this year, that's because Design Director Sarah edited them and made them pretty.
