I am spending the weekend in what appears to be the blistering hot New York. At least we have rain to cool us down in Miami. Maybe we will get some of that up north as well. While I am up here I will be going to the Jay-Z/Justin Timberlake concert and speaking to the Manhattan Sports Business Academy.
