Late Night Radio: A Better Year Ahead

Howdy, folks, and welcome to the show! Well, we made it. We're here. Happy New Year.

2025 will be a good year. I can feel it. Forgive me for thinking I've jinxed the past decade with my enthusiasm. “This is my year.” Then the circus happens. It's enough to give anyone a complex. But I think we're good now.

Any new start is a blessing, but it seems that after 2024 (and '23, and '22, and...) it's an extra reason to toast the dawn.

After I'm done with the initial rounds of cheers and thanks, I'll be setting out for a long winter's walk, notebook in hand. The creek will beckon, so I'll wander by, stopping to watch the clear water flow onward, forever onward. The hill, if it could talk, would say hello, so up my feet will go, deep in thought, as I plot and plan for 2025.
