One last Friday Night Greetings

Howdy, everyone! Well, I’ve finally come to my last Friday Night Greetings. I can’t believe I’ve been doing these since January of 2008. Par for the course, this one is a bit rambly and of little import or consequence — but if it weren’t you’d probably wonder who was impersonating me. From the beginning, these […]

I’ll try to make it up to you by providing two videos. Here is tonight’s video… …and here is another video which some […]

Yet another videoless Friday Night Greetings

Howdy, everyone, and I’m sorry! It’s been 15 days since my last Friday Night Greetings video, and once again time and circumstances have caught up with me and I don’t have one. This might be the biggest gap I’ve had in years! It’s too bad, too — we had dinner with Mr. & Mrs. Rod […]

Howdy! Tonight’s Friday Night Greetings feels ever ramblier than usual. Not sure why — maybe just excited to be home.
