Last Friday, I participated in Career Day at a local middle school.  A close friend is a teacher at the school and runs the program.  She asked me to talk to the students about practicing law.  

A few weeks ago I made an appointment for my ENT for a hearing test.  Going into the test, I knew what the results would be. I was going to need hearing aids. And I was right.  I am getting fitted for hearing aids in a few weeks.  

The Football playoffs started yesterday and I paid no attention with my team (way) out of it. I did notice that I picked correct on yesterday’s outcome for a pool with my friend Eric that started with two seasons back. It often put us in the hate position of picking our team’s opponent even while we rooted for our team to prevail. That all said my focus remains on charity.

Are you a resolution-er?  I know Shawn’s thoughts on resolutions.  I read his blog.    Most years, I have a top 10 list to start the year, but for 2025 I am taking a different approach.  It hasn’t even fully crystalized yet.
