I have been travelling way too much laetly. I have been home for only two complete weeks this entire year and it looks like I won’t be home for another entire week until June. I really need to get some more people on board to get some of the work done. Just feels like no…

Go CATS! Really excited about March this year.  For the first time in 3 years, the cats have made it past the first round and are in the sweet 16.  I have really enjoyed the games in this year’s tournament and am really looking forward to the games this weekend.  We have Utah first, which…
