I said I wouldn't make predictions about 2017, but I'll make this sarcastic one: I would say, based on the way these first six days of the new year have gone for me, it will be a decent year.
The context behind this prediction? A former co-worker, usually during the first week of baseball season, would make the same recurring, sarcastic prediction when the Cardinals won. He'd say, "Based on this one game, I would say they're going to the World Series."
There's nothing like tongue-in-cheek, self-aware tunnel vision.
