Welcome 2008

I almost made the blogging faux pas of not posting on the first day of the New Year. Seriously, what do I have to say that would be of any interest? Not much.

  • Dick Clark needs to retire. After watching 15 minutes of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," I believe it is time for "America's Oldest Teenager," now 78, to pass the mantle onto the heir apparent, Ryan Seacrest. Dick has carried this torch long enough.
  • Do Hindus ever have it "up to here" with Organized Religion?
  • I only read two books in the past six months: 1776 and World War Z. I need to pick up the pace this year.
  • I hate that the shows I like get cancelled. However, keep in mind that I am quoting "Buckaroo Banzai" on my site.
  • Movies don't have the same attraction for me as they did back in the eighties.
  • I am ditching DirecTV for Cable.
  • I hope this is the year that Alan starts a blog. I really do.
  • This is the year I go to Seattle (I hope).
  • The gang should plan a summer get together.
  • I am looking forward to turning forty in May. I went through my anxiety about it two years ago. I am over it.

So, there you are: much ado about nothing.

Happy New Year.

Liking shows that get cancelled and quoting Buckaroo Banzai just means you have style.

Chuck, Your inspiration may have led me to begin a blog. Though I have little of value to share with the world, perhaps this will actually make me Googleable. Is that a word?

Chuck, email address is rittersportc17@yahoo.com. Alan, it'll be great having you amongst the bloggers. It's cool...try it!

Well, Alan has joined in. http://ralangreen.blogspot.com/
Your New Years wishes are begining to come true. Is it too late to add "George will win millions in the lottery" to your list?
