Well, I wrote a long blog entry and then got Vista lockup. So, I will attempt to rewrite all of that again, but in smaller portions. ughhh.
2008 New Years: I spent New Years in Pinehurst at the resort and had a very good yet quiet time. We went to dinner with Parker Williams and Tyler Hmiel at Elliotts on Linden and it was fantastic. Both Renee and I were on medicine so we couldn't drink, but still had a fun time watching the other couples have fun. We retired to the room to watch Dick Clark and not long after the ball dropped, so did my eyelids.
2009 New Years Day: 3 Wide Life went to Rockingham to cover the Polar Bear 150. It was the world's largest street stock race and it was awesome. My good friend Joey Meier, who is a pilot for DEI and spotter to Martin Truex, Jr. raced in it and finished 13th. After covering the event, I am so building a car for next year. Sponsorship needed!
2009 New Years Pt. 2: The highlight of the day. My Iowa Hawkeyes kicked the visor out of South Carolian in the Outback Bowl. I was the only member of the Rizzuti family not in attendance, but when I saw the score during a red flag at The Rock, I think I could hear my Dad shouting, "Give me an I!" Take that Spurrier.
Facebook: My wife dragged me kicking and screaming onto Facebook and boy am I glad she did. I have had the chance to get back in touch with so many good friends that I thought were lost forever. It is really cool. I even have some photos from the Polar Bear on there.
Finally: I'm not sure this is exactly like the first one I wrote, but thanks to everyone for a great 2008. I have a lot of things in the works for '09, both in racing and stick and ball sports. Not everything will fall into place, but I feel good about my opportunities this year. 3 Wide Life is now available in 90 million homes, so that has been a great success and we are just getting started with what that show can be this year. AND, I am going to switch this website over to a more dynamic HTML site with embedded video. I hope to have that ready by Speedweeks.
Alright, I have to go edit some tape for 3WL. See YA!
