Updates and Picks

I had a great time out east last week; it was an awesome mini-vacation. I did a lot of touristy stuff, visited a few movie locations, had a cool host and friends to see, and it was just what I needed to get away and refresh. I posted some pictures on my photo site, but I have not had time to organize or caption them yet. I'll probably get to that by the end of the week and start adding some new pics as well.

The show I'm in is coming up soon and rehearsals have been fun and mostly good times. For those who have asked about it, you can go to this website to find out information about show dates and tickets: http://risingstarstc.org/

Finally, it is time for my 2008 MLB predictions. Last year was my worst one yet, so I have to redeem myself here. For this season I'm ranking the teams, giving my projected record for them, and only two words of comments.
