I hope I have done half the job JAL normally does, took me almost two hours to come up with this stuff. It included lots of searches and research. If you would like to follow me on twitter, I would welcome it. I only post positive sports stuff. I know, a self-less plug. But, I also did the morning links. 

Follow me here: https://twitter.com/TGIS_Sam 

Going to be in meetings the next three days, so my time on the blog will be limited. Probably no jokes and no recipes. Have no fear, I will be back and you will be fortunate to enjoy the wisdom I share with you on a daily basis.

Also, a big thanks to Hunter for making this possible. We have a terrific group here and I am honored to be a part of it with you all.
