Sometimes life is pretty magical. I wonder what's in the cards for 2019.

As we turn the page on another amazing year, it was also a year with significant losses. Aretha Franklin, George H.W. Bush, John McCain are among the more well-known of the many celebrated whom we lost this year. Locally, a big hole was left after the passing of John Bushey, host of KUMD's Highway 61 Revisited.

Have you got any major goals lined up for 2019? Don't be afraid to think big.
