The bell tolls for us all, and it tolls for me today.
I've been laid off, due to virus cutbacks, and so that's it.
Hope to be back, but in the interim, I'll be trying to figure things out like so many other people.

Per Ohio, OC Tim Albin will be the new Head Coach without an interim tag: 4 year deal.
Also, former OU QB Tyler Tettleton is expected to join the staff as RB coach and passing game coordinator. Tettleton has had stints with Oklahoma, the Cleveland Browns and LSU in recent years

Watch these wildlife officials struggle to stay alive as they release the world's most badass bobcat kitten back into the wild. The bobcat, who we're calling Mr. Murderbritches, was relocated after he was caught eating 🐔🐔🐔 in Kanarraville, UT.

My last few months have been difficult. But my guy Pete Lalich (right) has tried to get me back out and about, with recent Ohio hoop tickets being the latest example. He’s been great and it’s been nice catching the Bobcats in person over the last few weeks. Thanks Pete!
