What is waiting for me in 2018?

Each and every year throughout the existence of Eric's Planet, I've tried to end the year with a post to wrap things up for the current year and project a little hope onto the coming year. 2017 really flew by with me having written the fewest posts in a long time. If you're going to call yourself a blogger, then you'd better blog.

A few obstacles came up that took honey bunches of time out of my schedule. (That expression sounds like something out of a cereal commercial, huh? Just call me a cereal killer for stealing that...) From what I'm seeing for my future, things in 2018 should ease up and you'll get to read a bit more should you choose to do so. And I hope you do.

There are a few posts in the draft stage, pending my ability to dig up photos and/or facts necessary to complete the post with the assurance that what I've written is complete, entertaining, factual, humorous where necessary, informative, and other ten-dollar words that I can't think of at the moment. Perhaps I'll have better luck if I stay with the one-dollar words.

Unlike previous years, I'm going to mention a couple of ideas that I've had for posts. Normally my posts come right off the top of my head (like my hair), sort of "spur of the moment." By sharing these, they'll be more likely to be published since they'll be out in the open, forcing you to bombard me with demands to get them published.

For instance...

Those of you who know me personally know that I am a part-time croupier (roulette dealer) working occasionally for an organization called Gold Coast Casinos. Having done that since 1996, even I'm surprised that I haven't written about this. It's time.

I possibly have a couple of press days to attend for new attractions at some local theme parks.

Anyway, 2017 is almost done. Enjoy the holidays, stay safe, and we'll reconvene fresh and ready to face 2018.
