Is Jaco-Henri real?
Jaco-Henri ["it's with an -i, not a -y!"] is trying to persuade me that Bigfoot is real.
I'm not convinced that Jaco-Henri is real.

Thinking, informed
So, in this, only the 2nd month of a tremulous 2017, you may ask, "What is Mr Mönnig consuming daily, news-wise?"
Glad you asked. Here we go, with some well-written [in my humble opinion], witty [samesies], very liberal writing:
Glad you asked. Here we go, with some well-written [in my humble opinion], witty [samesies], very liberal writing:
- VOX
- Slate
- The Atlantic
- CNN [it's the news, and not deliberately witty]
- The New Yorker Magazine [has a paywall after a few articles read per month]
Disclosure: some articles from the above sites are aimed at mature readers and audiences [thus: adults]. You have been warned. [Just in case you're reading this alongside Granny...]

Pre-birthday wishes for 11 Feb.
Thanks to Elzet "The Mossie" Mostert and others..! [Even though I only really celebrate my intra-uterine mid-natal extraction and ejection on 11 February, this day-early acknowledgement of my amazeballness is highly appreciated...] You guys are great!

Jan van Riebeeck Interhouse Colours Athletics Day 2017
So, 20 January 2017: the Jan van Riebeeck Interhouse Colours Athletics Meet!
Beautifully cool and overcast weather [ideal for the athletes], made for a really comfortable and effective sports meet. And of all the various elements in play, of none am I more proud than my team of data-crunching wizards. Without them the various points and scores would not have been processed, and no winners would have had medals awarded at the end.
My dream team for 2017 -- Danielle Jordaan [Gr.12], Reinhardt Voges, Michaela Knipe, Nica Reinke, Amy Harvey and Trystan Abrahams [all Gr.11].
Folks, thanks to you for ensuring that we can probably have this great gig again in 2018!
Trystan -- apologies for no majestic pic of you; you have proven to be as elusive as the uncommon unicorn...!
