I’ll go back and get to some of the questions posted sometime in the next few days. As spring winds down there’s always a lot of personal stuff to take care of as you prepare to move back home. Even worse for the kids in the minor leagues that aren’t sure where they are headed [...]

Couple things.
First off I am answering questions from the prior posts. If you are posting questions that are relevant and not just being an idiot, do so in the latest post. I go through and cull them out, and answer them as time permits.

Typing this on the plane as we head back to Boston. Going to spend the off day with Shonda and the kids and get some things done at 38 Studios as well.
