Technical Difficulites

Sorry for the logo/picture glitch yesterday to all the Internet Explorer users out there. IMHO, Google Chrome is a much better browsing experience, so if you haven't already tried it - do yourself a favor and try it. (Also: see note at the bottom of each page)

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends


Since classes begin next week, I figure that it would be a good idea to finish up the plyo boxes that were started last weekend with the help of a good friend of mine. I've known Jay since the 1st grade (long time - I know!) and whether it was playing TMNT (you know what that stands for and you clearly know who I was) back in the day or meeting up for drinks now, he was and continues to be a great person and an even better friend -  thanks buddy!
