Raoul’s Two Cents: January 2, 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Happy New Year!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to 2026. Pardon the mess. I’ve been cleaning my office. Going through my pile of documents and my trash can is full. I’ve got a box full of broken electronic stuff. a box full of art stuff. And piles of other stuff. How about you? Sorting out your closet for your faded wardrobe? How about your email? How many TeraBytes is it now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t talk long. my wife is waiting for me downstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s wishing you a more relaxing year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have so many Christmas puns so I decided to “get rid of them” too instead of saving them for next year. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TGIF people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like my emails, please do me a favor and spread them around. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mailchimp has been tampering with my email database so you might get cut off. If that ever happens, you can find me in travelingboy and resubscribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
