Month: May 2010
It’s been a few weeks since my last post. I apologize. I’ve been busy finishing up law school. I had 6 classes this semester and so I had 6 finals to deal with. That consisted of 4 actual exams, a 25 page research paper and a take home exam that ran me 12 pages. This […]

The WNBA season officially kicked off on May 15, 2010. I was very excited to see Lindsay Whalen and Monica Wright play at Target Center this past Sunday. A couple of weeks ago, I attended an event the Minnesota Lynx held at the Mall of America to kick off their 2010 season with the fans. […]

If the rules are adhered to, that means that Andre Johnson must do all […]
