Another new year is upon us: 2018! Gotta tell ya, I never thought, hanging on the corner in South Philadelphia back in the ’60s, that I would ever be talking about the year 2018. Back then, I thought my oldest brother was old and he was 28!

But I’m not complaining. As my lovely wife often tells me when I start the “I’m getting too old for this” lament, the alternative isn’t very exciting.
