HELLO AMERICA!—Without a doubt, the year 2021 will be one for change and one to remember, that's for sure!  With the second attempt at impeaching former President Donald Trump and all the drama that will, no doubt come with it, it will make better TV viewing no matter how many shows or specials the networks attempt to deliver for...

HELLO AMERICA!—Thank you again for all the messages of good wishes and support during this time of my "vision" problems.
