• I'm back!  Had a good visit with my folks.  Don't recall the last time we'd rang in a New Year together.  Of course, this time we did it at 10:30 by saying "good night, see you next year."  Had the traditional New Year's supper with my dad's family yesterday.  Hope all those collards I ate bring me lots of money this year.
• Gorgeous sunny day for roadtripping today.  Not much traffic.  It took a lot of searching, but found a few good stations to groove with.  Way too much country and church radio around here for my taste.
• Belted out a rowdy "woo hoo" when I hit the Horry County line.  Did you know Horry County is the largest in South Carolina?  Bigger than Rhode Island?  It is.
• Finally tuned in Movin 94.5 when I hit Marion.  Best radio station anywhere!  Perfect mix of oldies, in-betweenies, and new stuff, all with a groove to pick you up and make you feel good.  They stream live, so give them a try http://www.movin945.net/.
• Made my first visit to Bojangles, Famous Chicken and Biscuits, in Aynor.  What a delight!  Super clean bathrooms, and after sipping coffee for 2.5 hours, I needed that.  Had a delicious egg and cheese biscuit, soft and crumbly biscuits just like I like them, and spicy seasoned fries.  You can get breakfast any time, too.  Bojangles, I will be back.
• Unloaded my car, threw on my beach sneakers, and I was walking the sand.  Three days away from Mother Ocean felt like three years.  Didn't even mind the chilly breeze and that the horseploppers had mucked up the sand.  Just dayum glad to be home!
• Hope your New Year is starting off happy and prosperous!
