….but abundantly happy to be here today. January 2nd, 2026. First, thanks to my best pal and founder of this illustrious corner of the interwebs, Bigs. I’m honored by his inclusion and promise to do my best to hold up my end of the proverbial bargain.
Let’s just consider this rambling first post in the following way: an awkward first step into a new space. I’m thankful to have one of my oldest friends (words) at my disposal as I navigate the unfamiliar. Thinking of them, choosing them, typing them out in the dark. Comforting and clarifying.
I’ll focus this up with a simple, grateful observation I’m reminded of today. I’m grateful today that windshields are bigger than rearview mirrors. Nope, it’s not an original, but it’s powerful all the same. Even for a guy predisposed to nostalgia as I am, nothing beats the gift of being able to look ahead. At new vistas, new opportunities, new grace and strength for the days ahead. Me? I’m interested in what can be, especially today. Lots of reasons.
That’s it for me for now. A relatively unimpressive offering alongside my partner’s recent offering on college football–a must read, I think. Perhaps I’ll get better at this. Maybe not. Either way, I promise not to type anything I don’t mean.
I’ll leave it there, gentle reader, and wish you a fantastic first weekend of 2026. And thanks again to my PIC (partner in crime) for getting this whole thing going–and for naming me all those years ago.
Looking forward, I remain….
