Happy New Year (Rosh Hashanah) to all my fellow Jews.  Start loading up on the carbs in anticipation of Yom Kippur (by far my least favorite holiday, but actually my favorite at the same time…truly appreciate life).  Anyway, I was supposed to be headed to Viera, FL today for All Florida Weekend, but a lot […]

Right after the Miami Dolphins (I forgot to mention that I sat behind Don Shula on my way to Jacksonville for a business meeting this Tuesday), my favorite team is the New York Giants.  I went wild at Club ESPN in Disney World when the Giants had the miraculous fourth quarter that ended up knocking […]
