With 2019 in the books, I thought I’d take a moment to mention that GTP generated 5,938,823 hits last year, second-best total in the blog’s history. (No, tops doesn’t go to 2017, but to 2015, which goes to show that bad news sells. Always.)
Anyway, this blog’s a teenager, but is still going strong, at least in a big fish in a small pond sense. I still enjoy spouting off and as long as you guys enjoy reading it, I guess we’ll stick it out a while longer.
I appreciate you all and here’s hoping there a big reward coming to all of us in the near future. Not that deserve’s got anything to do with it, but we deserve it.

A closing RE practice has a little more flexibility in a day than other types of law firms. Personally, I keep hoping that my RE law practice will give me an excuse to work with the Senator on a deal some day

On another note, Minnesota won 11 games for the first time since 1904 (beating Auburn makes it that much sweeter).
We should be thankful to be so spoiled that a 12-2 SEC East Champ and Sugar Bowl winner feels a little disappointing. Count your blessings, Dawgs fans. These are the good ole days.
Happy New Year to all.

Hah same. I can’t say GTP is great for my productivity, but I love reading it daily and getting different perspectives from the senator and the commenters, most of whom know a lot more about football than I do. Living out on the west coast, the blog helps me feel closer to back home.
I’ll also add/request that Senator does more podcasting guest appearances next season. If you haven’t heard him on the Chapel Bell Curve Podcast, I’d definitely encourage you to take a listen.

Congrats on past, current and future success. I’ve mostly enjoyed this place even if I kinda disappear during the off-season. I care about all things UGA but football is where it’s at and I’ve found not thinking/talking about it as much during the off-season makes it not quite as long. It’s really not even a conscious decision.
