FOREVER ON THE GO

Hello All,

Over the last week or so I have been all over the map.  I was lucky enough to join my club soccer team from Boston for our annual team dinner.  These are some of the best people in the world and I am truly fortunate to have them in my life.  (Thanks to the one and only Kevin Broome for picking me up in New York and taking me to the aforementioned dinner in Boston.  You are a man for others!).  

I was also lucky enough to catch up with some of my Clemson pals.  Guys that I never ever get to see and it was such a treat to spend some time with them.  Thanks for making my day Bucket, Wonka, and Aron.  We played golf at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus NJ.  The place is incredible.  Home of a Ryder Cup and multiple PGA tour events etc.  I wouldn't have traded spending that time with you guys for anything.  Did I mention these Clemson friends of mine are pro golfers?!?!  Needless to say, I didn't win golf.  We ended the day watching the Clemson v Georgia Tech game with my pal Kennyballs and the Tigers won big.  A day I wont soon forget.  Thank you.

A big thank you too to my brother Brian and his cash money wife Emily, B and Brenna, and Lindsay for making time to see, house, and feed me on such short notice once again.  My visits are never long enough but it was really great to see you all.

Then, as I was making my way to New York City, tornadoes struck much of the midwest.  Planes, trains, and automobiles later, and I am in Washington, Illinois with my disaster response team.  We are currently designing a plan of attack to get our teams into ground zero to help those in need.

 It's time to get to work.  I'll update when possible.
