Happy November to everybody. I had a blast last weekend in Jacksonville for Florida/Georgia, and while the Gators did not win, the defensive line looked amazing. I believe we are the highest ranked two-loss team in the initial College Football Playoff ranking, so that says a lot about what Dan Mullen has been able to […]

Nothing like having a full vacation planned only to find out mere days before leaving that the very first leg of your trip has been cancelled. Yeah, I had to deal with that a couple days ago when the airline decided to just scrap my flight, the only flight of that day and the only […]

I feel like I have been going at 100mph since coming back from my Honeymoon in January, so thankfully I will be heading on a couple week vacation at the beginning of July. Thus, expect a short moratorium from the weekly wrap-up during that period. Things are going very well at the law firm as […]
