Confession: I’m so glad 2024 is finally—almost—behind us! It’s been a crazy year, full of ups, downs, and all-arounds. For me, it was a make-it-or-break-it year.

Despite a few forced ā€œbreaks,ā€ I made it through.
No thanks to YouTube's bots, bullies, and bureaucrats.
All thanks to my crew of amazing fans, patrons, and subscribers.

With all the continued love and support as a strong foundation, I’m feeling more calm, cool, collected, and creative than I have in years.

Who knows what the future holds in 2025? It could get ā€œinteresting.ā€ But for now, on New Year’s Eve for me, I’m choosing to focus on love, light, and Leslie Jordan.

Two years after his passing, I still miss Leslie Jordan’s wonderfully silly self.

Love. Light. Leslie. Sunday Hymn Singin' To Celebrate Leslie Jordan Nov. 20  - Chattanoogan.com

While I only had the chance to meet him a handful of times—as a fan—Leslie Jordan was the real deal: equal parts sugar AND spice… and oh so very nice.

Wishing you and yours much health, happiness, and hope in the year ahead.

Thank you for being part of this adventure. All y’all make it worth it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Clint
