As I walked by a coffee shop a couple of days ago, a posting on the door was pointed out to me... 8 days left of 2010! Today, Dec. 27, would mean 5 days left of the year (including today). How are you going to spend these last 5? Most of us are probably going to take a stroll down memory lane and if we really can commit a few minutes to thinking hard, we might be able to recall some great, silly and incredible moments, even it they did happen back in January of 2010.
Here is one of my favorite memories of YPC in 2010...
A few scenes of The BoyShow were filmed in and around my home this summer. It was quite entertaining to observe the film crew and all the actors take over the house.
And, even in this taking over, I was amazed by how respectful the entire cast and crew were... how they rearranged furniture, moved household decorations and yet, they put everything back the way that it was before the take over.
My favorite moment took place when I sat on the staircase and listened. The crew and actors did not know I was there. The young adults sat in my dining room with beverages and pizza, and talked. They talked about what it means to be a man, who taught them everything they know or don't know. Relationships. Friendships. They laughed, they got serious, and they were real. They were not acting.

I was simply moved and will forever be touched by this genuine, authentic conversation.
When we let our youths, our friends, our family just talk about whatever comes to their mind, it may change our mind, open up our hearts, and allow us to laugh together and cry together.
Best wishes to all of you for a memorable, incredible 2011.
