This post is mainly to serve as an indelible record of things that I think will happen this year and which I'll revisit on December 31. If my predictions turn out to be correct, I will crow my prescience oi this space or cite my utter-out-of-touchness and blindness if I'm wrong on most counts. So here goes:
