It must have been some October because I don't remember it at all. Shoulder tap to Yahoo. Something to think about fixing for next season. You know some regular season games do occur in October. Just saying. Sent from my iPod

My Moleskine Notebook

My Moleskine Notebook

Whenever I forget to do something, my grandmother always asks me "How come you didn't write it down?!" There is something about writing it down that makes it stick to memory.

Rules to live by in 2009

Its the second day into the new year and lessons have already started to reveal themselves. 1. Honor your gut. I have been on the fence about a few projects for a long time. If I haven't actively taken an interest in them, there is a reason. They weren't meant for me. Let them go, but ...
