I make it my business to proofread your resume. When you put "East Carolina University,
Raleigh, North Carolina" at the top of the page, I'm not reading any further.
If you don't know what town your university was located in, I don't want you to work in my office, which, interestingly, is located in
Greenville, North Carolina, home of the East Carolina University Pirates.
Best of luck to you in your future endeavors,

OK new info, the previous record was 40.3 not 39.3 - kids had wrong info. Still was a record breaking throw!

Grandparenting is sooooo much fun! And you're getting your money's worth, ID! If these kids only knew how they lift us up!
I feel your joy!

Dead guy tattoo update: homicide victim has a "nc" tat in the middle of his chest, with "game" on one side of it and "over" on the other.
Another thing I hope he repented of before he breathed his last.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If you were in the rain forest, that means there was someone to hear the tree fall.
