Well, here we are. The 2024 Bills season is officially over. To kick this off, let’s rewind to my predictions for the 2024 Bills that I wrote about last year after the Bills lost to the Chiefs in the divisional round: “In closing, it’s hard for me to see the Bills improving next year. What …
I had been looking forward to this trip for some time. I would consider this to be our first “adventure” themed family vacation, in contrast to our typical lay on the beach and waste away trips, which are nice for the first day or two but can quickly become boring and predictable. We planned to …
I first heard of Pyramid Lake back in August 2021 when I stopped by Silver Creek Outfitters in Sun Valley Idaho. I was explaining to the kid at the shop that I had never caught a cutthroat and that it was on my bucket list. He said they had good numbers of cutthroat across Idaho …
The Bills finished the year with the exact game they wanted, Kansas City Chiefs at home. This was the Bills’ time; this was their moment.

Given I had yet to catch a fish in 2022 (actually I did catch like three six-inch perch at 5 am on an ass-cold January morning that I’m not counting) and the …
Let’s cut to the chase… Do you like research? If you don’t like research, then hell no, you shouldn’t pursue a PhD. Oh, but you want a high salary? Then you should definitely pursue a PhD! JK, pursuing a PhD for salary’s sake is probably one of the worst moves you could make. More on …
Day 0: My flight to Boise was scheduled to depart at 7:30 AM on Wednesday, Aug. 11 2021, however, we didn’t end up taking off until 8:30 AM. I made it to my connecting flight in O’Hare just in time, but my checked luggage (including my fishing gear) didn’t make it. I arrived in …
