It’s awful. I can’t even hardly bear it. I’ve never known anything like this season. 1 win? 4 losses? WHAT.IS.HAPPENING? Better question- WHO.WILL.GET.FIRED.FIRST? And what does one do when their team is the worst in the SEC? I’ve no idea. Anybody from Vandy wanna tell me? [ZING!] But seriously. Vandy is gonna mop the grass

Dating tips.

Not for me, you sillies. This weekend, I will be joining some friends and leading a relationships retreat for a college campus ministry. I am excited. And a bit nervous. But mainly excited. 70/30 split? Nah, 80/20. Totes 80/20. Talking to the girls is gonna be awesome. You know I dig standing in front of
