Today’s Unscientific Poll – Who Do You Like Better Journey or REO Speedwagon?

We have come to the end of another year. The time where some will remember the joyful memories that this past year created. Others will look back on this year and think, “Good Riddance”. It is also a time where most of us will come up with things we would like to try to achieve in the coming year. Be it health, business, financial or other goals (you know, those “resolutions”).

 

However you choose to celebrate tonight, please be safe and as Mitch would say, “make those good decisions”.
