It’s been two years now since Katrina hit my town. I was just commenting to my best friend, now roommate, last night that I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since. I’m having trouble believing that it’s been a year since I wrote my last annual post! Last year I reflected on [...]

Since my last post, Michael Vick worked out a deal with the FBI. Like I said earlier, the FBI doesn’t accuse unless they know they’re going to win; so I knew whether in court or on paper he would be found guilty.
