Bye 2021, Don't Let The Door Hit You...

All in all, 2021 was a crappy year, just like 2020. My shoulder injury, the ongoing pandemic, lousy politics, horrible natural disasters, canceled concerts and so many celebrity deaths... and now this news: Betty White has died. Betty was so close to turning 100 in just a couple weeks. Now the news of her passing on the last day of 2021. She is one of my favorite actresses of all time. Her work on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls and Hot In Cleveland are all so important to me. I actually consider the cast of The Golden Girls to be my friends because I've seen every episode so many times. I always stop at the finale. I cannot get through it without crying - and I don't cry at much, trust me. Betty's passing feels like a gut punch and typical for this year of so much loss, pain and suffering for so many.

If you are going out to celebrate the passage of 2021, please wear a mask and don't drink and drive. We need you here to talk about the summer tour season.

Betty White, the beloved actress and comedian who worked steadily in Hollywood for eight decades, has died at the age of 99. https://t.co/6xWPTUxSOO

Well, I'm supposed to see Dave next week for a bunch of shows, but after he cancelled tonight and tomorrow, who knows. I'm thankful that seeing him next week is still a possibility. We all need something to believe in. I believe I'll do this again.

En route to Vegas. Then down to RokIsland in the Florida keys, then to Cabo with the family. 2022 is looking good so far.

A funny thing happened on the way to Las Vegas...
