And now we begin the second half of the holiday season: the trek from Christmas Day to the New Year. If you listened to my podcast, you know that Christmas was a little strange this year because my family had basically had our Christmas a couple of weeks ago, due to weather, lockdown and otherContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – December 26, 2021”

I know I usually wait until Saturday or even Sunday nights to update this blog. However, it was the first thing on my “To Do” list and so I figured I’d get it crossed off as soon as possible. (I am also watching the 1987 Winston 500 for a future posting for John Milner’s TrackContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – December 11, 2021”

And just like that, less than three weeks until Christmas. I don’t want to suggest that I am completely ready for the holiday season because you never know what last minute item might come around the corner. I can say, however, that I believe all my Christmas shopping and wrapping is done. I even haveContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – December 5, 2021”

Okay, so I missed last week and I could tell, from the flood of emails and DMs I received, that you were concerned about what I was up to. Okay, in all seriousness, last weekend was NASCAR’s Championship weekend, so I was pre-occupied with seeing Ben Rhodes, Daniel Hemric and Kyle Larson win their championships.Continue reading “Your Milner Moment – November 13, 2021”

I am in the early stages of the NASCAR double-feature with the cut-off races for both the Camping World Truck Series and the Xfinity Series. Can I just say what an amazing invention the PVR (DVR for my American readers) is? I can set my PVR to record these races, have an afternoon nap andContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – October 30, 2021”

This seemed like a really busy week. Never mind the normal hustle bustle of the life in the Communications department at King’s University College. I was actually out and about a fair bit. On Monday, I went to visit Paul and picked up the latest issue of Shelf Life Magazine along with a couple ofContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – October 24, 2021”

It was a short week, due to the Thanksgiving holiday but I seemed to get a lot of work done at work. On the homefront? Not so much but (a) I’ve made a few appointments for next week to get a few things don and (b) it’s the weekend and in between the races inContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – October 15, 2021”

By now, it’s probably been a month and a half since my last update. There have been times when I’ve considered junking the blog, not to mention a lot of my website and the podcast given that I’m not getting much response on any front – save a couple of people from China who checkContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – October 10, 2021”

I know I normally update on the weekend, but having not provided updates for the last couple of weeks I decided to check in – just to keep people on their toes. I shouldn’t say it’s been a really busy time around the Milner household but a couple of things did happen. My sister andContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – August 17, 2021”

As the days of my vacation wind down, I can honestly say that – while I will never get as much accomplished as I want – I did get a few things here and there accomplished. For one thing, I celebrated my 52nd birthday in my usual, down-played way. I want to thank everyone thatContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – July 30, 2021”
