Dad, Husband, SEO Consultant

I love working with website owners to get more traffic to their websites. If you want help with your site, let me know. I also have a lot of opinions about other things so feel free to snoop around.

I loved today’s Superbowl Sunday. It was a fabulous day for the New Orleans Saints, for the City of New Orleans, and for the fans of the New Orleans Saints. Now it is true that everyone who knows me know me as a staunch Pittsburgh Steelers fan, but today I rooted for the Saints. I have had a soft spot in my heart for the Saints since I lived in New Orleans back in the mid 1990’s.

It is nice to see the New Orleans Saints get their first Superbowl ring. As the Steelers who have 6 Superbowl rings know so fondly, the Saints can savor being the NFL World Champions for the next year.

Congrats Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints for a great season. Sorry to the Colts fans – the game really did come down to the deciding factor in so many Superbowl games – that of who made the mistake and who didn’t. Payton Manning probably had his best career of playing this year – especially in playing under pressure, but in this game he threw one errant pass and it will most likely haunt him for a long time to come. Too bad the critics will haunt him too. Congrats to Payton too for having an awesome year.

I wore my shoes with pride last night as I stepped out onto the chilly Chandler Tennis Center courts. I think if was around 52 when I finally zipped up my tennis bag on my way out after three hours of tennis.

I hadn’t played in a few weeks because of all the rain we got (yes it rains in the desert for those people who want to know). Nor have I played much since before Christmas. But, it seems as though the schedule will be getting back to pretty regular again (yes I’m pretty regular too) with 3 days a week.

As for the shoes – they fit great, and they are still a work in progress. The guys like em!
