Into the Weekend 1.9.26

Into the weekend...

Now that we’re in the throes of 2026, I’d like to report that all of my 2026 New Year's resolutions have officially been met and resolved - in just 9 days!

I’ve already thought about (and readily dismissed) the idea of running the Chicago Marathon (absolutely NOT, with my conditions and all).

I made it through 24 hours (!!) without a glass of (red) wine.

I've successfully limited my coffee intake to one pot per day.

I read a book, and I learned some Spanish - in addition to fajita (pronounced “faheeta”), tortilla (pronounced “torteeya”) and burrito ("burrito").

I’m well on my way to significantly limiting my deep fried food intake, and I have yet to cuss (out loud) at a pedestrian who refuses to make eye contact when crossing the street in front of me.

Significantly, I haven't tripped any of the new people crowding the gym while they try to fulfill their own resolutions.

And I am way nicer to other people’s pets than I was pre-2026. 

People are saying that I’m also more open-minded about vessel sinks. Cheers to 2026!

Whatever 2026 holds in store for you, I hope your home gives you comfort, peace and happiness.

And, if not, give us a call.

Best,

Brad
