<p style="margin-left:.5in">I've been meaning to let you all know that I've taken a step closer towards joining you in the world of adulthood and proposed to my girlfriend of 2 years just before 4th of july. She said yes, thkugh i think mostly out of shock.
This, combined with turning 30 last year puts me solidly closer toward old man status with the rest of the league.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Apologies for my absentee management this season but the planning plus our week long vacation afterward, and the clutches of biglaw, have kept me more than occupied.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Looking forward to dominating the next 5 years.<o:p></o:p></p>
