I graduated from high school 50 years ago.

Hard to believe.

Transformed my senior yearbook photo and turned that kid into the Wizard of Oz.

Back then, I had a head full of dreams.

#1 on the list: getting into radio.

Had no idea how the yellow brick road would twist and turn over the next 50 years.

The highs. The lows.

The ups and downs.

If I could go back and tell my 18 year old self what he'd need for the journey, it would be...

...heart, brains, and courage.

A little bit of magic.

Saw this sticker on the back of a car.

26.2.

The distance of a marathon.

Hills.

Flat stretches.

Twists and turns.

Moments when you wonder if you can keep going.

Sound familiar?

The truth is, everyone you meet is running a marathon of their own.

So, be kind.

“Give us this day our daily bread.”

Most of us think of bread as food - and it is.

But sometimes the bread we need most is something else.

A little more strength.

A little more patience.

A little more peace.

A little more hope.

God knows what we need before we ask.

Let’s trust Him to provide it.

1979.

Me — a DJ at radio station WWCO — with Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent at a charity event in Waterbury, Connecticut.

The 70s had one fashion rule:

The bigger, the better.

Look at Bucky’s huge turtleneck.

And the collar on my shirt - wow!

Ran into this guy at the herb farm.

He didn’t say much.

I prayed for an answer.

Went to sleep.

Woke up to this text from a friend, sent in the middle of the night.

“You are on the right path.”

My friend had no idea how much I needed to hear those words.

My son ordered Chinese takeout last night.

It came with two fortune cookies.

He handed one to me.

"Be prepared to face your fears and conquer them."

Not many of us enjoy facing our fears.

I know I don't.

The conquering part, though...

There was a time I crawled.

Head down.

Slow.

Doing the work no one saw.

It didn’t look like progress.

Most days, it didn’t even feel like progress.

But that’s where the transformation happened.

That’s where the wings were built.

And one day, without even realizing it, you stop looking at how far you have to go…
