Adam’s 2022 – A Year in Review
2022 has been a breath of fresh air. Finally moving out of the shadow of COVID, life was better as we were able to meet in person again.

Then, the whole family joined me at the end of the year in December.
Adam’s 2017 in review
2017 was a whopper. It was Trump’s first year as president, the year of the #metoo hashtag, and the year Australia (finally) legalised same-sex marriage. I think my wife will probably always remember it as the year I almost died on a motorbike. Overall, my highlights were: New office for the SSW Melbourne team New […]
