It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone. I’m often reminded how quickly time flies especially with little ones. There’s nothing I adore more on this planet than my family but it just seems like the quicker my little ones outgrow their jeans, the more accelerated time seems to travel. It’s a blur. Michael J. Fox and Dr. Emmett Brown would be amazed. On the musical front, my band SolJet has also started to play more shows. 2013 was spent on preparation and getting band dynamics in place. 2014 will be set on live performances and setting the front row on fire. Well not literally but you know what I mean. Professionally, things have never been better. Great news rolled in last week that my team’s work at #WGNO has been awarded two more Addy Awards. Humbled by what Bobby, Rich, Michael, Jared and the rest of the team has been able to seize and shake up in the market. Kudos to their efforts. As a whole, the station had a banner 2013. Clearly the little engine that could, WGNO and WNOL had an eye opening year. One of the better ones in a long time! Ratings consistencies, increased viewers numbers and social engagement is a wonderfully special sauce. Thanks to a boss who not only cares but believes in the power of transparency to drive his ship forward.

So what is in store for 2014 and beyond? I’m not sure just yet. One thing I do know, time waits for no one and my lovely wife is still the glue that holds my world in place even as fast as life travels. Very much like a DeLorean through some strange wormhole at 88mph. What’s in store for 2014 and beyond? Still not sure. I will and live however by the following:
- Stay small, stay humble
- Short and punchy words
- Play hard
- More solos
- Hug, lots of hugs
- Trust the circle
- Hold her hand
- Daddy up
- Think more like an accountant
- Love, kiss, my love
Peace.
