from Adrian Dater of All Things Avs,

I hope this all doesn’t turn into one big narcissistic bore, a look at ME ME ME. There are certainly plenty of other sports media out there who have that market cornered, and I don’t want to add to it. All I know is, I get an awful lot of questions about what it is that I do, or questions from people wanting to know how to get into the field of what it is that I do.

And so I’m going to hope to answer some of those questions with a deeper look at it all. I don’t want this to be all about me (though I’m sure it will a lot), but more about what it is that I’m seeing with my eyes and passing it off to the rest of you, with insight and things learned along the way. After all, this is my 18th year doing this. I ought to know a thing or two by now.

OK, so what am I doing right now? I’m typing on this piece of software is what. It’s 4:18 a.m. and I woke up about a half hour and am trying to get back to sleep at some point soon. You’ll probably hear more than once that I have sleep issues. Grade A sleep problems, the kind that need pills.
