Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog.
Now that we have 2009 out of the way, it time to recharge and start planning for the new year. Can you believe it is 2010? Remember the 2000 scare? Seems like only yesterday we were panicking about the 2000 computer turnover scare. Now, 2012 seems to be the end of the world which means I have two years to make my point on this blog. I have so much to do and a ton of space to fill until then.
Since last year, my Talk It Out show has become Talk It Out Everyday. We now are featured Monday through Friday from 12 noon until 1pm. And, if that’s not enough, a extended after-show continues from 1pm-?. I admit the show is a lot of fun and informative, not only to our audience but to me too. OTV Update: Now offering 10 shows, 8 of which are produced locally. We just added The Real Zephyrevery Wednesday at 6pm. Let me know what you think about the new-look website and the new programming? www.outonline.com
My birthday and Christmas was tough. I really missed my mother. This was the first birthday and Christmas that I did not spend with her. Many of you know what I am saying. Thank God that Ed was there for me. I must admit, I am still dealing with the loss, but each day gets easier.
The January issue was released without a hitch which afforded me some time off to recharge. Nothing was accomplished around my house. Uncomplicated and no real schedule, I got my shit together and started to plan again for the future of the newspaper and www.outonline.com. It’s a blessing to be able to focus and set realistic goals again. I am back on track 110% and loving it. The newspaper had a pretty decent 4th quarter and 2010 has brought record numbers to the website.
2012 may not be the end of all things. However, I would settle with the end of Prop 8, man and woman only marriage, discrimination of any kind or any group of people, hate, taxes, lies, snow and wind chills, Quinn and Rose, Sarah Palin, unemployment, poverty, death, my pastor at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Monroeville wanting to leave the ELCA because of it’s new pro-gay policies, certain politicians, parkway east traffic, recession, Pat Robinson’s stupid and hateful comments, junk e-mail, all diseases, suffering, commercials that promised credit card debt relief, limit of 2, the belief that Ronald Reagan was a great president, the belief that George Bush kept us safe, mortgages, G20 trials, the Spin Factor, organizations asking me for money, closeted people that hold our community back and finally not doing updates on this blog.
The end of the world? I don’t think so, but hopefully the end of the world as we know it.
