Years ago Budweiser unveiled a popular ad campaign with a slogan that seemed to put so many people in a festive mood if you know what i mean. All across the world Budweiser had people saying "cheers, this bud's for you." What I want to do with this post is to give my twist on this successful slogan and talk about a different kind of bud.

New Year's Eve celebration in Chicago
We spent this past Christmas and NYE in Chicago and had a good time as you can tell. My wife and I were ringing in the new year at a house party. That's her in the picture with a hand up. And yes, we managed to celebrate without a lot of drinking. Before the party ever got rolling,
the DJ mentioned the Sandy Hook shootings. He said that he wanted us to have a moment of silence for the family and friends of the victims.So many of us were wracked with grief when the shooting occurred and it was right around the holidays and that made it even harder to take. I want to comment on why this hits home for me.
