My sincere apologies

To all of my fan(s)-

First, please let me say I am very sorry for my extremely long (and unacceptable) hiatus from this blog. I wish I had better excuses than finals and general business, but I do not. And, for that, I am very sorry. I cannot promise to write daily, but I can pledge to do my best to update more regularly.

So, where are we today? The big day is now exactly 2 months way. Craziness. I am still searching for a locale (and a date) for my "bash." If anyone has some suggestions for a large, outdoor location for a summer birthday party in NYC, please send them along (via the comments section).

The Yanks are certainly struggling in this young season. Injuries have really hurt us, but the weak bullpen certainly hasn't helped.

As some of you may know, this week I finished my first year of business school. I can honestly say this year exceeded my expectations in every way. Initially, I doubted my decision to go to back to school. I wondered if I was too old. I thought the 2 years with no salary and ridiculous amounts of debt did not justify the end result. And, plain and simple, I wondered whether more school was right for me. However, I am so happy that I decided to go back. I have made friends from all over the world. I was able to go to Israel with 11 other students that I can now call friends (more about Israel to come in a future post). I took 30+ students to their first ever game at Yankee Stadium. And, between all of this, I was able to learn a little and get a summer job I am very excited about (more to come on that also).

So, I hope that brings everyone up to speed. I hope to post much more regularly in the near future. And, by "much more regularly," I mean at least weekly.

Before I sign off, I just want to point out that a mid-week trip to Atlantic City this Wednesday cost me more than I have ever lost gambling. By a ton. I am officially off of Texas Hold 'Em for the next seven days.

Once again, I am sorry for such a long break. More to come...
