2025 Year In Review

2025 Year In Review

I saw the fewest games in a season in several years. Just 82 overall. But they were some of the best games and a lot of fun along the way. I found myself in Montana a lot.

2025 Week 3 (Ohio)

Week 3 went off without a hitch. I wasn’t sure where I would be this weekend, so I wanted to stick around home in Ohio and Pennsylvania. But then Saturday had me traveling quite far. And staying close to home on Friday to accommodate that longer drive.
