Happy New Year

 Happy New year!

I hope this email finds you well.

I know, it's been quite some time since you last heard from me.

No excuses.....I just stopped writing.

After 8 years,4 months and 12 days, I found that I couldn't find it in me to open this platform and put words on a page.

I missed it terribly.

Still, I couldn't find a way to allow myself to write.

On Christmas eve, while scrolling through my cell phone, I realized just how many people I have lost touch with.

I will never have the opportunity to reach out to many of those names.

Too many ,way too many, are no longer here.

I think it's time for me to reconnect with as many as possible.

The picture above was taken on a visit with my friend Tom.

Friend, frat brother and as the photo depicts, a member of what was dubbed the Fearsome Foursome of the pledge class of Spring 1973.

Sadly, that group has now dwindled to just a Dynamic Duo.

One thing I learned from my musical past....I am not a good soloist!

It's time to strike up the band once again.

It's time for a reunion tour of sorts.

It's time to join the chorus again.

I don't make New Years resolutions.

I'm not big on promises either.

Life has a funny way of getting in the way of them.

I do however make commitments, to myself and to others.

My statement of commitment today is to reconnect. starting with this email.

There are no promises for a tomorrow. There is only the here and now.

So here I am, and now is the time.

I've missed you all!
