2008 is just a few short hours away... and like most people, I have quite a few resolutions. Every year I vow to do one or two things, but this year I've gone a little bit overboard.

I have several friends that have little nieces and nephews they love to show off. They show me photos and gush about their little relatives. I've always looked at the pictures, gave the usual "oh wow, he's so cute" and moved on. I never really understood why they were so excited. Until now.

I love traditions and the Rohall family certainly has a lot of them. We have them for every holiday--- Valentine's Day, The Fourth of July, even Superbowl Sunday! This year I have to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so I'm missing out on the Rohall Christmas traditions (Christmas Eve Mass, Peter Rohall's gift opening rules, Santa's visit on Christmas Eve). But even without these traditions, I still found my own way to celebrate today...

For me, one of the hardest parts of reporting is tempering my emotions. I'm naturally a very emotional person who is very quick to laugh or to cry. But as you all know, there are situations where laughing and crying are completely inappropriate. I had a tough time holding back my tears last Friday at a sentencing hearing.

Bullets seem to fly every day in Hampton Roads... and when they land, they tear apart families, friends, and communities. The bullet may only hit one person, but the impact spreads outward... claiming dozens of other victims.

It's that time of year again. The time when homes across the country glow from strands of lights, radio stations begin to play their holiday playlists, and of course, organizations have their holiday parties. Last weekend we had our WVEC holiday celebration.
