Nick's Bachelor Party

Just so you know… I’m absolutely horrible at this game. I scored the least amount of points, whereas Nick was 2nd best and the best on his team. Our team would’ve been obliterated had we not had Michael Bracco and all of his good looking luck. Man! …I hate that guy. I mean, have you seen his

Dr. Logan King, Equine Veterinarian, and I are long time college friends. — which is surprising considering I forgot his name the first three, maybe four, times we met.

10am Update: The 2005 Presidential Inauguration
