new year, new blog

I've long said that I wouldn't blog for one simple reason: I'm not naive enough to think that many people are really dying to know what's going on in my day-to-day life. However, as I'll be embarking on extended travels beginning in about a month or so, blogging will be the most effective way to maintain contact with the greatest number of people. Plus, I think my day-to-day life while I travel will be a little more exciting reading than usual. At least that's my hope.

I'll still be here in Cleveland until late January finishing up work with the Browns. I'll head back to GR for a week and a half or so before leaving for Tampa, Florida, on February 8, where I'll spend about a month working training camp. Early March, I'll fly to Berlin, where I'll live in a hotel with the rest of the Berlin Thunder for the duration of the NFL Europe season (until late May). While there, I'll be traveling with the team all over Germany and will make one trip into Amsterdam. At the end of the season, I'm hoping to see a little bit more of Europe before returning home (wherever that will be).

In the meantime, I'll just be preparing for the whole experience while wrapping up loose ends here in Cleveland.

Happy New Year.
