Summer 2010 Update!

Good day folks! It’s been awhile since I last checked-in so I figured I should get on here and yap about something… Summer 2010 has been a pretty damn successful one!

PERFECTION!

I will forever remember this day: July 23rd, 2009. I sat at my work desk yesterday, and listened to the White Sox on the radio – and what I heard was legendary. Mark Buerhle threw a perfect hame!
