Free speech has a price.....

     A local sports disk jockey, Andrew Weimar, has been taken off Weei because he called  Tom Brady's daughter a pissant on air Thursday......my opinion probably echoes that of many of Andrew's peers.....you own what you say, and kids are off limits as they are private citizens and minors.....pick on Brady all you want....or his wife...they are public personalities. Pretty fundamental and basic.....

     One of the things I review with my kids ad nauseum is that you own what you say. I consider myself a novice blogger and run into this both here in this forum and at home and in real life. Sometimes my kids have about as much nuance as a whack in the head , but they are learning. Tom Brady, for his part, had a scheduled interview today and voiced his concern with what was said.  He obviously thought calling his daughter a name was out of bounds and wished to close out his interview. If you want to hear the clip it was produced Thursday night around nine and I heard it live......thought it was off base at the time but thought little of it until it became a radio and Facebook issue today, with Brady's opinion being strongly stated.

     In other developments, I am trying to hit the gym every other day. My friend Steve Walfield is acting as my trainer and sidekick. I am focusing on walking and basic biking.....boy am I out of shape! I am seeing pretty well and driving around Beverly.....blessed and free baby! Looking to race Jimmy Herzog, hahaha just kidding! Next step is working a little bit and managing working out and Dr visits.

I feel free.......I'm free.....I'm free to do what I want any old time.....more to come!!

New year's resolutions are bullshit

     So.......do you go out New year's eve? With young kids and because I'm not the most mobile cat in the litter, we sometimes do the pre New year's eve stuff locally. We do not go out later and participate in amateur night driving anymore. The kids stayed up.....we watched the network NOT show the ball drop...then I called it a night. New year's resolutions? Not this year. For Mr....hopefully everything will get better this year.....health.....attitude....wallet.....all requiring effort and energy on my end...

     I have done the specific resolution thing in the past......lose weight.....give up the sauce.....go for a promotion....raise....get a new job.......at the tender age of 55 I have concluded that I suck at resolutions for their own sake and do need to have a life movement...a purpose....and do the right stuff to achieve e a movement......

    This year, it's about the gym.....a job....driving...starting with the basics, and moving along. I need to be more engaged and involved with everything. Family, health,all aspects require my efforts, attention, and improvement. I need to move on from just being happy to be here and do something........even if I fall flat on my ass......

     So, the end game here is to not make it a game, or a resolution, or put a name to it.....but do it. I may need help getting there.....but that's ok.....part of this journey is to realise and accept that facet of life, make it a norm. I will get there...I hope you join me.

     Peace in 2018......see you soon.
