I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. But as the thermometer plunges to thirty below outside, my computer and I are spending too much quality time together. As a result, I’ve cobbled together a list of the most popular ILYBYGTH posts of 2017. All the usual suspects show up: Creationism, evangelical higher ed, conservatism, school reform, Joseph Lancaster, Trump, and, of course, gyrovague.

There have been a few bumps in the road in 2017…

So if you’re stuck inside too, why not take a stroll with ILYBYGTH down memory lane?
