Happy New Year!

2026 rang in as I was in Dreamland.  The ball dropped in New York City - unseen by me. The new year was three and a half hours old when I opened my eyes. Andrew tapped me and wanted to know if it was still night time. I assured him it was and encouraged him … Continue reading Happy New Year! →

2024 in Review

I spent the better part of New Year's Day and yesterday thinking about 2024. It always amazes me at just how much stuff you do in a year!

2021 – What a Year!

At midnight tonight, we'll start a brand new year - 2022. Some have compared a new year to a book. The book with 365 blank pages - one for each day - and said that the book is ours to write. There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year! →

New Year’s Resolutions

It's that time again ... Every year around this time I have a joke that I recycle when I am on the radio.  Basically, I say that I am going to make some New Years Resolutions I can actually keep.  I then proceed to list how I am (1) going to gain 20-30 pounds (2) … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions →
