.... so, about that remaining possibility for 2017 .... we still patiently wait for the process to reach a hopefully successful conclusion - - maybe soon ? certainly anticipate that if the pieces come together, it will become known to all in - at most - the next 25 days or so ... it is certainly a mystery - and at this point , I am concluding that there is no utility in peppering away with speculation - guesses will not be confirmed or denied -
just keeping fingers crossed that a truly productive way is found to use that open possibility.
