Gotta Love An Extra Day
So this year we get an extra day (or 3!) to file our income taxes! YAY! Why? Because Friday the 15th is Emancipation Day, a little-known Washington, D.C., holiday that celebrates the freeing of slaves in the district.

So did you make any resolutions?  Was one about losing weight?  All I did was eat candy and baked goods for the past two weeks.  I think I may have over-done it on the sweets!  It seems that the most popular resolution for the New Year is to lose weight, at least according to MyGoals.com. If you really want to lose weight, don't diet.

I used to stress every year around the holidays.  I still have lots of friends that stress out completely this time of year.  Always running, always behind, always complaining about something.  I have finally discovered (with my wife Lori's help), that if you just breathe, smile, and take a step back now and then, the holidays don't have to stress you out.  Watch some holiday movies, and you too c
