A few more things after the jump!

A visit to Cajun Country

I recently put together an account of the family’s trip over to Lafayette and Breaux Bridge for work, which you can check out right here.

As part of the blog post, I put together a couple of videos. I’m happy with how they turned out, so I’ve embedded them here.

Up there at the top of the post you’ll see 5 good reasons to make the trip yourself.

Clicking through to the rest of this post will give you my magnum opus on Popeye’s chicken.

Hey, we all have our own higher calling in life.

Stories and gravy

I don’t want to labor under too much stress trying to link my latest two work videos together with one another. The point is that they’re both out there, not so much that they have anything in common with one another.

Random Draft Thoughts 2018

I grew up a Cincinnati Bengals fan, ergo, Draft Day is like a holiday. Longtime Saints fans can relate to this, I’m sure.

For the longest time, I would sit there, writing down the players’ names & info as they came off the board, so that I would have a hard copy of each NFL first round and learn the basics on who these players were (though who am I kidding, I was already a big enough fan to know these guys already).

I’m not sure what the point of this was, or is, other than to say that yes, I’ve followed this almost compulsively for a very long time.

With all that said, I thought I’d continue my draft tradition of writing down some thoughts prior to the big event. Obviously, please take this with a grain of salt as I have massive blind spots.  For a great example of this, see my opinion, or lack thereof, on Lattimore last year (I didn’t like him because I thought he was a massive injury risk).

So, yeah.

But here we go anyway. Here’s one guy’s clearly flawed opinion.
