This Saturday I will be going to the Phillies and Marlins game in south Florida because it is the last time that the Phillies come down here.  I will be watching the Virginia Tech game in the early afternoon and head down to the game directly afterwards.  I am so happy that football is back, college this week and NFL next week.  Anyway, on to what I’m trying to get to.  I will be going down to the game a little earlier to tailgate.  It is great to tailgate at Phillies and Eagles away games because there are so many Philly fans no matter where you go.  When deciding to do the...

The agency that I work at has a pretty large free library of business related books, so I have definitely been taking advantage of this lately.  I like to read these business books because they give me a lot of motivation, not just for the business world, but in my personal and diabetes world as well.  I just recently finished, The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs. This book was awesome.  Let me give a quick background.  About 3-4 years ago I could not stand Apple.  I hated everything Apple, I hated Google, I hated all that hip stuff, I thought you were a douche bag just because you...
