Gypsy D.V.M. : Nicholas Sparks

Things We Can Learn From Birds
A little article I wrote on the Broadreach blog was officially posted this week

Nicholas Sparks was in Charlotte this past weekend! I was able to go get his new book (Two by Two) signed and get this picture with him. For those that don't know him (which you should), he's the author of several books setting in North Carolina and the following books turned movies: (In order of when the movies were released) Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, The Notebook, The Last Song, Dear John, The Lucky One, Safe Haven, The Lucky One, The Best of Me, The Longest Ride, and The Choice.

LSUs Mike the Tiger Passed Away
After The News Of Mike VIs Death PETA Appears
Mike passed away this week. :( He wasn't doing well this past weekend so his caretakers decided it was time. Sadly, PETA is already trying to prevent LSU from getting another tiger. If this were a tiger at a zoo or any other enclosure then maybe I would agree with them, but this tiger is treated like royalty. His caretakers know everything about him and how to interpret what he wants. If he doesn't want to get into his mobile cage for the home games, then they don't force him. There are no tigers treated better than they way they treat the Mikes at LSU. As I said in my last blog, Mike is the spirit behind LSU, he is what keeps us going. We all love you Mike.

Premium Pet Food Is Really Expensive And Not Actually Better

This week I headed home to Charlotte to start my vacation. It took me 12 hours of travel time on Monday to get to Charlotte however. My first flight to Dallas went fine, but my second flight got delayed due to weather. We get on the plane and there is engine damage so they give us the option of getting off because they don't know if they can take that plane. I get off the plane and up to the attendant in order to see if there is a later flight that I can get on, just as they announce that there is a another plane as well as a gate change. We get to the next gate and there is about an hour before we board (I would have been home by now). We get onto the plane and there is no water, so we wait 45 mintues for the mechanic to get there. Finally we take off and I luckily make it back with no other issues.
