The current cosmological paradigm, ΛCDM, is characterized its expansive description of the history of the Universe, its deep connections to particle physics and the large amounts of data that support it. Nonetheless, ΛCDM's critics and boosters alike agree on one thing: it is the not the final cosmological theory and they are anxious to see it replaced by something better! After reviewing some of the impactful events in cosmology since the last \Le Workshop, I focus on the role that the recent evidence for evolving dark energy may play in getting cosmology that better theory.
