Too much good fortune can make you smug and arrogant - unaware of what's really going on.

After years of training, sacrifices, and overcoming injuries - the dream becomes reality for the athletes, coaches, families, friends, and supporters as the 2026 Winter Olympics begin tomorrow.

Opening Ceremonies start at 3 PM EST on NBC and other broadcast venues. Watch as Team USA proudly takes the world stage, representing the strength, determination, and spirit of a nation offering a moment of unity and pride during a time the country faces challenges and uncertainty. The Olympic flame stands as a beacon of light, unity, and inspiration, reminding America of its resilience and renewing belief in itself.

Snoop Dogg's Olympic presence has grown from a popular novelty to a consistent, integral part of the coverage and support system for Team USA. He returned as NBC's unique correspondent and in December was named the first-ever Honorary Coach for Team USA for the 2026 Winter Olympics, following his popular role in the 2024 Paris Summer Games.

Sunday America comes together for Super Bowl LX, a celebration that grips the nation with unmatched energy and anticipation. This is more than a game - it's a stage where dreams, determination, and teamwork collide in every snap, pass, and touchdown. This promises to be a powerful emotional driven game no matter what.

Fans from all walks of life, regardless of race, gender, or background, unite in cheering, shouting, and sharing the thrill of the moment. The season's journey has been long and unpredictable, filled with nail-biting finishes, unforgettable comebacks, and moments that have kept hearts pounding and fans on the edge of their seats.

The commercials themselves have become a cultural highlight, sparking laughter, awe, and conversation across the country.

Costumes, face paint, tailgates, parties, and cheers turn stadiums, homes, and other viewing venues into arenas of joy, rivalry, and pure celebration.

This year's halftime show features the electrifying Bad Bunny - bringing rhythm, spectacle, and music that pulses through every corner of the stadium and those dancing and singing along at parties and other Super Bowl venues.

My grandson Matthew has told me the team to route for is the Patriots. Got it. May the best moments light up the nation in unity if only in the moment.

Many of the waterways around here have been closed due to ice. I have never seen so many consecutive days of temps below freezing in my almost 83 years on this planet. I thought we were headed for a 'flood story ending' but this is more like an ice age. I hope you are staying warm and safe ... and never ever underestimate climate change.

A ship represents a life path. At times we become stuck, but with perseverance and determination, one can turn the ship in the right direction and steer toward destiny. This is a close-up of the ship stuck on ice trying to turn itself around to head out to sea under the bridge. As I'm typing this ... it's turned another 45 degrees. I have faith it will succeed.

Always look for the Lighthouse to guide your way home.
