I started this little blog on August 24th of this year. I didn't know what I was going to do so I decided to let you, the readers, tell me what you liked. I hope that it has evolved into something that you all enjoy. Apparently you do, or so my page view statistics tell me. In fact, after nine weeks I can now go to different stadiums in the area and people know what the blog is about before I have to explain myself.
The only way that happens is by word of mouth. Your mouths. So, thank you. My social media experiment has been what I consider a huge success. I'm very grateful that so many people are paying attention. The season isn't over and I already can't wait for next year!
In fact, it's been successful enough that I started looking at avenues to "broaden my horizons". Sixty days after opening Finally Friday!, I was happy to be announced as the new women's basketball writer for www.bloggersodear.com. Blogger So Dear is the Wake Forest community on SB Nation, a national online platform for sports media, and the premier independent site for Demon Deacon coverage.
Those who know me understand that covering sports has been a dream of mine since childhood. Thanks for helping me keep my silly dream alive.
Now, this blog isn't shutting down. At all. Why would I do that when I finally just figured out what I was doing? The only thing getting adjusted will be my basketball coverage. My plans for covering high school hoops have obviously been canceled (for the most part). I've got a wife and family and, um, want to keep them. However, I do have a plan to keep the blog updated and fresh. So don't go anywhere!
Now if you'll excuse me I have to get some work done before I head over to Mocks Vegas. Rumor has it there's a football game over there tonight!

Nice to meet you last night in Mocksville. Looking forward to your blog on the game!
