... As we start on 2026, I'm pretty sure many of us are thinking of what we want to accomplish in the new year.

... Before I begin Part 2 of this blog, I would like to thank you all for your patience in waiting for this second part. A lot has happened ranging from lack of motivation, to a restructuring of Going the Distance, to a major pirate invasion, all of which I probably won't go into too much detail about but you get the idea. ... In fact, these recent events are living proof that Godzilla and King Kong can take on any form and can be represented in any shape or size. These can
