It’s been a LOOOONNNNGGGGG year!  One of the worst on record for the DL&LL family of enterprises.  I know…I KNOW that 2018 is going to be a better year.  It has to be.  It can’t hardly be a worse one. 

But, you know what.  No matter how bad it’s gotten for the Dragon family, no matter how close to the edge we’ve gotten, God has always been there to pull us back, keep us safe, protected us and blessed us.

I’m sure there’s more than one Chuck Lorre fan out there.  He’s the producer of The Big Bang Theory among many other shows, and at the end of each episode he has what he calls his vanity cards.  Tonight I saw an old one from about this time last year and it goes like this:

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #545

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been spending most of my free time in the land of Not Yet. If you’re unfamiliar with it, Not Yet is a happy place where all the bad things that seem likely to occur have not happened… yet. I like to think of it as a shimmering, shivering soap bubble whose fragile beauty is only made greater by the knowledge that it will soon burst, making way for the dark realm of You Gotta Be Kidding Me.

But not now.

Not Yet.

And yes, I would love to say Not Ever, but that place doesn’t exist.

Yeah, that about describes it.  So, what do you say we get some laughter going and enjoy our weekend?

I don’t know what you guys have planned for New Year’s but if you’re going to drink please make sure that you have a designated driver or other arrangements.  I want you all to be safe.

Don’t we all know someone like this?

Yeah, it’s definitely going to be the later for me.

Have a great holiday and we’ll see you in the new year.

Love you Mom!
