February is Black History Month in the United States. But it’s a month of even greater importance to me, with several birthdays and anniversaries of family and loved ones.

However, I just discovered that I’m going bald. Getting old isn’t for wimps!

I admit that I’m hooked on sports talk radio. In addition to getting game results, I listen for the commentary and analysis, even if sometimes I disagree with the hosts and/or guests, especially when they tend to "bash and trash". Despite that, listening makes having to root for the Panthers and Hornets easier to handle. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

This coming Saturday, I’ll celebrate my 66th birthday! I won’t have a party, which suits me just fine. And I probably won’t receive random and/or unsolicited well wishes on social media. To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t have it any other way. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

To quote Mother Teresa, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” The stone I cast is one that acknowledges the good work of others. And that happens to be Item #2 of my New Year's Resolutions for 2024. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

Although my list of next year's resolutions is not yet complete, one item that I'm sure will be on that list is for me to work smarter, not just harder. That means that I'll eliminate redundancy in my efforts. Why make more work for myself if I don't have to? SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.

I only had seven items on my list of resolutions for 2023, and I still couldn't keep them all. Does that make me a failure? Not really, because this year I learned how to change course whenever I hit a dead end. SHOW NOTES are available for this episode.
