We were expecting to celebrate New Year's and instead got slapped with a pink slip.

Instead of hate, celebrate.

I want everyone here to note that I'm wearing pink for this occasion, pink, the color of soothing, softening and reconciliation. Lately it's become Dick's favorite color — replacing his old favorite, terror-alert red.

Joe Gibbs once told me, 'If someone is going to hand me a pink slip someday, it's not going to be because of the plays someone else called. It's because I called the plays and it didn't work,'

Instead of expecting someone from somewhere to spearhead or bring about a change that we desire, it is much more practical to begin to something personally.

I grew up in a total Pink Floyd house.
