Back in Sunny South Florida (as if Gainesville did not feel like 120 degrees this past week). I’ll be down here for a week and change. I have some business matters to take care of, and the usual standard doctors/dentist visit. It’s always nice to spend some time with family as well. The baseball division keeps growing, and we are beginning to prepare ourselves for 2010 and beyond. We have a brand new Baseball Advising Package that we will be unveiling soon. I find no reason to keep it hidden. I continue to have daily discussions with our agents overseas about some of our basketball clients (not all of them are listed on the website). Just been very busy. Excited for my final year of law school. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
