December 24, 2021 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
We’ve been curating our editors’ picks for about 18 months now, give or take, and readers sure have taken to them. In our Daily Newsletter, the Friday Editor’s Choice feature is often one of the most read news items for that week.
As a result, we thought it would be fun at year-end to take a different approach. This week, I’m posting the top five most-read Editor’s Choice features compiled by Andy Shaughnessy. Seems like a fitting way to look back over the year, doesn’t it? So much has happened this past year that I had a hard time believing it once I started looking back.
Andy and I certainly enjoy bringing these curated “must-read” articles to you. It’s gratifying to see that you, dear reader, like reading them, too. So, without further ado.

If you remember back to January, we were so glad to turn the corner on 2020 and looked forward to a new year, hoping it would bring us better fruits. Andy quoted Chris Farley in “Tommy Boy” after his character fell off of a mountain, “What in the hell was that about?”
