Hey there viewers! I know it's been a while so I have lots to say so bear with me.

You may be aware of the fact that there's a new face on our show in the past month. His name is Keith Smith and he comes to us all the way from Palm Springs, California (boy what a shock from desert temps to sub-arctic temps in recent days). We are very excited to have him with us. Right after he arrived in Oklahoma, he had a new addition to his family, his son Sander. He is really cute. I think you will enjoy Keith's stories. He has a way with words.

Unfortunately, he comes to us because Brian Bendele has left us for greener pastures (sorry girls!). He is now the Manager of Youth and Outreach Programs for the National Reining Horse Association. Brian has always wanted to work for them so it was the perfect opportunity for him. Good luck to you Brian, we'll miss you! Welcome aboard Keith! We look forward to your future stories.

Our 200th episode has come and gone! Whew! Now we're working on our next 200! 2009 should prove to be another great year for Oklahoma Horizon and we hope you'll be a part of it. Be looking for some new changes to the show and our website this coming year. I won't tell you what they are so keep watching to find out. Remember, we are always looking for the good stuff in Oklahoma, so feel free to contact us and let us know if you have a story for us. We may not always use your suggestions, but keep'em coming because our Oklahoma is your Oklahoma.

On a personal note, life is extremely busy. My daughter's band is going to San Francisco in May and we are doing whatever we can to raise money for the trip. I'm looking forward to the trip. Last summer, my family took a vacation through California stopping in LA and San Francisco, but since we were on a tight schedule, we didn't get to spend much time either place. So I'm hoping we get to do a little sight seeing in SF so I can see more than just Fisherman's Wharf.

Well gotta run. Have a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!
Chatatcha Next Year!
