250101 The New Year

My friends, it's a brand new year! No one knows what it will bring, so buckle your seat belts and hang in there.

I’m starting the new year in a way I never expected. My credit card, which I’ve had since 1986 has been breached for the first time by assholes trying to screw me. Not just one, but 3 different ones.

It has been a nightmare, beyond any nightmares I have ever had in my 79 years on this planet. I just got off the phone this morning with my credit card company. I am visibly shaken by the last few days in December.

The good news is I think all will be well in the next few days when I receive a new card with a new number. I’ve had some harrowing experiences in my lifetime, but this one tops them all. It seems the bad guys are getting smarter at screwing the good guys. I don’t know what the future will bring, but I hope it’s better for me than last December.

Best wishes to all of you in the coming year! I’ll do my best to make my 2025 better than 2024. I know some of you may have celebrated on new year’s eve, but today I’m celebrating my hope for a year of no breaches with my new credit card.
