January 1st, 2009
New Year's Day

Today starts a new year and and last night we decided to start something new.  We're going to start updating our website at least once a week.  You'll still get all that great magazine info but on a more timely basis.  All the latest stuff will be right here on our home page and there will be links to previous posts.  Again, I hope to post here at least once a week in 2009.  We'll see how it goes...

     Well the Blackhawks took it on the chin 6 to 4 today in Chicago's first Winter Classic in Wrigley Field.  Too bad, but it was fun seeing outdoor hockey and what did we expect -- Chicago teams that play in Wrigley Field have a long and glorious history of losing. Let's just hope that the Hawks aren't cursed for the rest of the season.

     I was reading tonight in American Road about some of the sights along US 50 in Nevada, America's Loneliest Road.  I took a look at a Rand McNally Road Atlas and all of a sudden I've got a hankerin' to take a road trip from Winchester VA to Sacramento, CA, all on US 50.  My guess is that it would be a great way to see a whole lot of the Real America.  

     I hope you all have a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.  See you next week!
