Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! So it's already 3 days into 2013, and I'm just now getting around to posting Happy New Year on the blog. That's life. I've come to accept it. Here's hoping that 2013 is a year full of blessings to you all.

Odd side note: When I was kid (I was born in the 1980's), I never would have imagined being "alive" in 2013...or being 32 for that matter. If that kid knew what I know now...we'd probably all be in a lot of trouble ;-)

Since New Year's Eve happened to fall on a Monday, the hubs and I rang in 2013 on the radio of course. What's better than starting out the New Year doing something you love with someone you love?

We expanded Illumination Radio from 2 to 4 hours and had in-studio acoustic performances by our friends Paul Demer, One Soul, someGuynamedbart, and Divine Retribution. Some friends stopped by to chat with us as well. Funny story: Our friend, D, stopped by and happened to bring her knitting. She's just learning to knit and thought I might be able to show her how to cast off (take her knitting off the needles). Well it's a good thing that she brought her knitting, because later in the show I found myself furiously casting off her scarf so that the drummer from One Soul could use her bamboo sticks as drumsticks because he left his sticks as home. How many radio show hosts can tell a story like that? It might not be glamorous, but it sure is fun.
