WHAT A YEAR!! Here we go: Highlight of 2009: reunion with my brother and his family- he has become easily, my best friend; he's short, chubby, funny, conservative, brilliant and a great golfer. And he's married to "Dell" (she's a better golfer)

Blessings: great sons, daughters-in-law, 4 awesome grandkids.

Disappointment: always wanted to have hot sex with Hillary Clinton but Harry Reid got there first.

Disappointment Two: great friends at Palm Harbor YMCA--all liberals-all voted for Obama; advice- swim more and vote less.

Advice for Tim Tebow--if you play in the NFL, don't cry on the bench after losing.

About Tiger--you are a schmuck!!!!

Huh? City of Clearwater realizes it hasn't done anything stupid for a while--stops flying American Flags. (Per St. Pete Times)

Best in Sports--WORLD CHAMPION NEW YORK YANKEES

Second Best in Sports--Tom Watson's Performance in a Major

On a serious note: we all need to realize that our beloved country is under attack from without and within. The President is nothing more than a well-spoken Chicago thug who at heart has neither the guts or intellect to be our Commander in Chief. We have a Congress that is totally up for sale (bastards admit it) and is filled by politicians who have neither read the Constitution and certainly do not understand it-- if they ever read it. And what is worse--they don't care about you or me and what we think. "Consent of the governed" is completely foreign to them.

Hopes and Goals: Health and success for Mike, Marc, Fred, Rich, Jeff and his sisters; best to my new niece and nephew in San Antonio; to Abbey, Scott, Matt and Alaina...happiness and my prayers for your continued growth. To Lois--lookin great--go get a rich second husband; For me--finish novel, finish text on Eminent Domain, do justice to my writing on the Internet; kick my brother's ass on the golf course; get weight down to 165.

HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS 2010 TO ALL.
