39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I would have to write that lyric. Perhaps just to be a sport I'll quote a line from a James song called Sit Down:"If I hadn’t seen such riches I could live with being poor". Because the riches I've seen this year and the riches I've lost create images with such an overwhelming contrast to each other.
