Good evening, BraveMan....2013 has not been the best of years. Hoping 2014 will be better.

OK....we've shared enough of our cold. You can send it back. Looking at the 20s and snow flurries for a week.

Is it safe to assume that you have snow?

This is what I remember as New Year's Eve from my youth:

Guy Lombardo's Final New Year's Eve Appearance - New Year's Eve 1976-1977

By no means the best, but I'd rather see a lot of tipsy revelers in the Waldorf-Astoria dancing to Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians than a bunch of millennials twerking and mouthing obscenities to some barbaric anthem.

Call me old-fashioned, elitist, curmudgeonly, mossback, whatever! I remember when civility still prevailed. We need to bring those days back.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

In truth, you’d laugh at the amount we have, though its the most we’ve had by this time in the last five years.

Typically February is when we start getting nailed around here.
