Don’t worry, this post has nothing to do with racism, African American culture (past or present), or the tasteless name that some people use on a daily basis as a way of greeting a fellow “bro.” The “N Word” that I am speaking of is, however, almost as taboo as the word I’m alluding to…
Happy Father’s Day, Pops! Thank you for….

After my internship at Dolphin Research Center in late 2007, I had the opportunity to do another internship at Dolphins Plus in Key Largo. It was really neat to see how very different two dolphin facilities can be. My favorite thing about Dolphins Plus was that they were much more relaxed than the Research Center…
Went to the baseball game today in Winston Salem. It was really hot but we had a great time! As always I played paparazzi and took tons of pictures of Max.
