That’s All Folks!

Just wrapped up my last day of work for 2010. I may not be exactly where I had hoped to be eight months after my graduation but I have faith! I'm leaving you with one of my favorite songs from the 80's Mr. George Michael and in keeping with that one of my favorite holiday...

Brace Yourself – You’re on Defense
