Today is Tuesday December 27th 2022 Where has the time gone? I started The Ultimate Year Over six years ago. I’ve owned the web site over 10 years. With the interruption of Covid and Family and Life in general, time has flown by. In the last six years I have traveled to the British Virgin Islands by way of The U.S. Virgin Islands and obtained 2 of my sailing certifications (ASA 101 & ASA 103). I passed the written test on my ASA 104 on a 56 ft. Beneteau Monohull (take a look at one of those someday). I have written 2 books “11 Good Things” and “Story Photo” they are currently available at 2 local book stores here in Missoula Montana. Rockin Rudy’s and Fact and Fiction. I don’t currently have any plans to publish them in a bigger setting right now. I recently got back from another road trip to New York and back by way of Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. Another 5120 miles of driving in 18 days. I currently have 5 Major League Baseball Parks left before I complete the 30 total. I now have traveled to all 50 states. I think I have become a better writer in the process. My intention is to submit some of my papers to a well known magazine and see if I receive a response. I would be surprised if I did but all I can do is try.
