#Top9of2022 Every year, it’s harder to harder to whittle my year down into 9 photos, but here it goes from left to right, top to bottom:

(1) I witnessed the most incredible game I’ve ever seen when the Chiefs beat the Bills in the NFL playoffs; (2) my precious dog, Chester, passed away of kidney failure; (3) I was fortunate enough to announce the finals of the NCVF volleyball tournament inside an MLB BASEBALL stadium: Chase Field in Phoenix; (4) I had dinner at Mar y Vino in Puerto Vallarta where you ate literally in a pool of water; (5) I’m now a Guinness World Record holder as part of the largest gathering of people dressed up in dinosaur costumes; (6) I got my first tattoo; (7) I was the announcer for racquetball at the World Games in Alabama; ( Stepping out of my comfort zone, I attended a voice over conference in Dallas hopefully setting the stage for my post-teaching life in a few years; and (9) I had a blast with over 50 of my high school classmates at our 30-year reunion.

Especially coming out of COVID, 2022 was amazing! Here’s hoping 2023 is even better for all of you! Happy New Year!!
