That leads us to Christmas.
I’m not sure I will be near here tomorrow, and I’ll be out of town over the weekend, so I figure now is the best time to wish all of you who are so kind to visit me here a Merry Christmas.
You might not believe it when I say this, but I feel blessed. Despite everything (well documented), I have a wonderful girlfriend, a great son, a loving family, and a great population of friends. Not everyone who reads “Exit 55” is a friend but I feel blessed to have you on board as well.
My wishes are simplistic. Peace. Love. Understanding (I sound like Elvis Costello, no?). Selfishly, I have a few things that I want also, and you likely know what those are, but I think it can be whittled down to simply being happy – consistently.
At this time of year, we pause to think of those defending us around the globe. We think of those less fortunate. Yet that should also happen as often as possible.
I also think of getting to know Matt Brown and his dad, Mike. Despite the circumstances of a crazy 2010, I hope they have the most amazing Christmas and, based on Mike’s response to me earlier today (via Facebook), I think they will. Their attitude and upbeat enthusiasm is contagious.
On behalf of all of us here at “Exit 55” – which, in reality, is me (and Sean…and anyone else that wants to attach their name) – Merry Christmas to all of you.
