Ringing In The New Year

Posted by Patrick at 8:30 am Published in Blog

I have never been to a show quite like this one.

Posted by Patrick at 1:20 am Published in Blog

I started 2008 with a lot of drinks, a whole lot of kisses, and some frustration. The second half of 2008 sped by me as I work kept me busy and stressed. The travel, the weekends on the job, the extra hours in the office all made it hard to realize that it’s already 2009. [...]

A Few Old Friends

Posted by Patrick at 2:46 am Published in Blog

It’s a routine that I’ve become more than accustomed to. Reconnecting with friends.
Thanks to an unusually high number of trips back home this year (mostly due to business) I have realized two things:

When I come home I intend on seeing all my friends back home

Fantasy Football: Why You Shouldn’t Have Championship Games In Week 17

Posted by Patrick at 4:02 pm Published in Fantasy Football

The NFL season is 17 weeks long.
With each team having a bye week that means each team plays 16 games, however that last week is nothing like the other 16.

According to Google Maps it’s about 8 hours.

Fantasy Football: Football Championships

Posted by Patrick at 2:05 pm Published in Fantasy Football

It’s no longer crunch time.
It’s championship time.
