Rev-Up: Home
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Rev Up. This week’s edition of the Rev Up comes to you from Pittsburgh International airport. I’m sitting here at TGI Fridays drinking a Yuengling and wearing a huge smile. It's been about as good a day as I could hope for, with the expected holiday travel pains. We made it here early enough for me to sit down and write The Rev, there was no line at security and the flight is on time.

But, I don’t want to bore you bragging about my happiness. I’m extremely grateful for the things that came down the pike this year, and maybe it's because I’m getting older, but as much as I’m soaking in holiday cheer, my heart is equally saddened when I think about folks that will not get to be together with their families. A couple weeks ago I sent an email to a man over in the sand. I never really expected it to get to him, much less that he would write me back. Sometimes it seems we all get wrapped up in the bubble of our personal lives and turn a blind eye to what is happening outside our immediate radius.

So, that’s about it. I have to get to the gate and head to Kansas. It’s my home. For those of you that are going home, please make the most if it. Go see the schools you went to. Go check out the bar you had your first beer at. Drive over to the make out spot where you had your first kiss. Home is a special place and I’m grateful to be heading back to mine for another Christmas with my family.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Thank you for all of the nice emails throughout the year. I’ll use them as fuel to keep you guys Revved Up all year long. 2008 is right around the corner. I promise that every Thursday afternoon you can go to www.racerxill.com and get pumped up about the race to come.
Thanks for reading, see you next week.
