It is time to review the accuracies of last years annual (or occasionally semi-annual) predictions for the future. As per usual, I did not get many things right, but I see no reason for that to discourage me from trying it again. I published my “Top Ten” predictions for 2018 on January 10, 2018. I feel compelled to warn you that a couple of them apparently offended some of the more sensitive souls among us. By reviewing them today, they have an opportunity to be offended all over again. If you are at all likely to be affronted by phrases like “Anthony Weiners laptop,” please stop reading now. You have been duly advised.
