It’s that time of year in Gainesville… the time where the gators play the gators in the ultimate fight over alumni donations. 
But, the great thing about Orange and Blue weekend, is that usually a good ol’ friendly alumni comes to town. This year, it was The Egan’s who graced our lovely town with their beautiful baby Grace.
Had a great time smelling the flowers, eating a burger at Cafe Gardens, and hanging out with great friends.
The rest of the weekend I spent catching up on films I never saw in the theater; which means I can scratch Dan in Real Life, The Dewey Cox Story, and No Reservations off my list.
My favorite of them? Clearly the chick flick was going to win.

Another weekend with Yeni in Florida. Was great to have a visitor at the house but unfortunately the weather was less than cooperative.
After a great visit to the University of Florida and Big Lou’s Pizza, we had a quiet evening in the house on Saturday and prepared for what we thought would be an awesome all-day bike ride to St. Augustine.
Well, mother nature decided that the flowers needed some more water and the rain started before sunrise and never stopped.
We headed to the beach anyway to have Conch Fritters with friends and see the ocean.
The bike ride will have to wait until May

Has to be my new favorite phrase. If you haven’t see the video (or videos), You tube is going crazy with them… You can find some at this link here. Or play the small selected catch phrase portion below…
Anyway…. I don’t know if it were a set-up or whatever… but I can’t say it looks like the police handled this very well at all… and anyone who knows me, knows it’s very hard for me to be critical of law enforcement officers… Agencies? Sure (gpdsucks.com anyone?)… but not officers… except if it’s something as pathetically handled as this little taser incident.
Go gators.

How awesome is a repeat of Basketball and during the off-season a championship in Football? I think my degree just increased in value.

Greetings from Vegas and thank you to my Alma Mater, the University of Florida, for a history making domination of college athletics. And an even greater thanks to the State of Nevada for legalizing gambling and allowing me to make some change off of the Gator win. Why? Because when you’re a Gator, you don’t bet that the Gators will beat the spread… you know in your heart that they’ll win and then you bet accordingly. And what if you’re wrong? Then you blame the other guy and smile that you still beat FSU. So a hearty “Fuck you” to all the people who thought that UF shouldn’t have made it to the championship. The SEC is a fucking tough ass conference, and the big win over Ohio should let you know what time it is.
Bellagio is nice… room is great, very high class. Casino is a little rough. We’re not loving the dealers here and lately have been heading to other casinos to gamble… the other dealers just make it a little more enjoyable to lose your money.
And a big congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Oblander for tying the knot Vegas style!
