It has been a very eventful past couple of weeks for me. Quite a bit of stuff is still pending; some I wish to keep confidential and other information I feel free to share. I have accepted a new legal job, which will start in about a week and a half. I have had an […]
I am up in Orlando taking a deposition today; such is the life of a lawyer who delves in transactional and litigation matters. Basketball heavy Friday Wrap-Up this week.

At the same time, those early entries along […]
Going into the season, I thought Syracuse had a fantastic shot at winning the National Title. As a #3 seed, the Orange still are in a nice position to make a post-season run; however, unfortunately for Scoop, Kris, et al., they have to make it through a very difficult East Region. Will they actually put […]
The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is back in the ACC Championship game, facing a familiar foe in Duke (the team we covered just yesterday). I will certainly be switching over to that game when there are breaks in the Florida Gators vs. Kentucky Wildcats match-up for the SEC Championship. Much like Duke, North […]
I am heading to Tampa for the weekend to experience Gasparilla for the first time. While everyone has been complaining about the snow, it has been absolutely beautiful down here in South Florida.
