Sometimes, it’s not your year. In 897 CE, millions of things occurred each day with great meaning to the people living at the time.

Nine years ago, there’d been Julio Rodríguez’s before. Each year, dozens of teenagers consummate handshake deals often made when they were middle schoolers, making them millionaires in theory, if not in actuality.
