It’s the FIRST day of a brand New Year!! Like a little kid I love a new day, week or year!! The future is unwritten and we can make it what we want. It’s so exciting! 2026 is going to be a great year. I can feel it. It will have its ups and downs and challenges but it’s going to be great because I can make it that way!! My mindset won’t allow struggles to do anything but motivate me further. So today after spending a relaxing morning with my bride and lunch at a diner. I went back to projects. I have a deep desire to feel productive everyday so I spent this afternoon doing projects. Laundry, restoring a pair of friends shoes and sanding and oiling cedar planks for the closet so I don’t have a repeat of the Clothes moths massacre summer 2025!! Wishing you all an amazing 2026!! The future is bright my friends!!

Alabama is in the Rose Bowl today at 3 pm CST. It’s considered the first big college football bowl game and home of many fantastic games over the years. Ironically 100 years ago, a team from Alabama was invited to its first Rose Bowl and won handily, not only winning Alabama’s first National Championship but establishing Southern football on the overall landscape of the game. So the new years starts with this, my boys heading in as underdogs as the team from Indiana has the accolades and the number one ranking in the land. As our fight song says, “Fight on, fight on, fight on men! Remember the Rose Bowl, we’ll win then! “ The shirt, Nike with Alabama logo The pullover, Horn Legend with Tide logo The jeans, Daniel Cremieux The scent, Polo Red The watch, Victorinox with Alabama logo The hair, by me Make it a good day.
