NYE 2010

Alright, boys and girls, here we are, New Year's Eve. Birthday of my eldest offspring. One of the most iconic days on the calendar. A day when the economic downturn has been temporarily suspended, especially at the nail salons and liquor stores. 2010 was supposed to be the year we make contact (Remember? sequel to '2001: A Space Odessey'? OK maybe us band geeks are the only ones). I made contact with a few things that I had just as soon rather not have made contact with...like my 50th birthday! Then again, I got to make contact with my motorcycle, so that's a good. Oh well, the big wheel just keeps on rollin', don't it?

Many of you will be out among them tonite, celebrating the impending change in the calendar with friends old and new.A few things to remember. Excessive use of alcohol may cause you to think you are speaking softer that you actually are. We aren't spring chickens any more. I killed off about as many brain cells as I dare to when I was in college, so I riding the ragged of success, as far as that goes. Don't ask any really hard questions if you want an answer right away. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'll answer it, it may take me a few minutes.

Just watch yourselves out there. Next year is shaping up to be one where we'll need all the help we can get. It's gonna be a really wild ride, I can feel it. Lots of change on the horizon, new challenges and opportunities (we used to call them problems).It's a brand new year, never been used. Can't wait to get it all started. Just be careful out there tonite. Looks like it's gonna be a year when we need all the help we can get.

So here's to a great 2011, and more success than we can handle. Oh,couple things more. I have no special hangover cures, and don't call me for bail money...I'm all tapped out.

Much love...

OK, boys and girls, I've been told that one of the best exercises in keeping your mind sharp is to write. So I write.



I've decided to go back to school. Looking at an MBA program from a local school, and I hope I have enough discipline to see it thru. My company has a tuition reimbursement program, so if they'll pay for it, why not? I'll keep you posted.



I took vacation the week between Christmas and New Year's in hopes that we'd have some good riding weather like we had before Christmas. So far, no good, and I am going nuts! It was a perfect day on Sunday, but I went to Oklahoma to visit the mama, and unfortunately, you can't put a 3-year-old on the bike. Relax, I'm only kidding...maybe.



The motorcycle is a wondrous invention. So great to be out on the road, hit that throttle, lean into the wind, and it's Katie-bar-the-door! Me and the baby (I call my bike 'the baby') have come to somewhat of an agreement. She'll mind her manners and keep me from killing myself, and every once in a while, I let her stretch her legs. But not too much. The thing has way more go-fast than I'll ever need. Still, sometimes I want to try...



I'm beginning to run out of words, so I guess I'll sign off. Tune in again next week.


Love each other...
