We’re entering 2016 with a bit more trepidation than is usual when a new year rolls around.

MY LOUSY WORLD: The Bonehead Hall of Fame

favorite Simpsons character is Sideshow Bob, a cerebral, spike-haired convict obsessed with killing Bart for sending him to prison. Sideshow has a recurring habit of stepping on rakes with the handles smacking him in the face. Once at a rake factory, he must have stepped on 20 in succession, muttering under his breath each time.

It’s the end of 2015, the year the classic film “Back to the Future 2” took place is now completely in the past.

good song lyric is worth a thousand pictures.

But once the melodious transportation is complete, I’m almost happy to be sad again.
