This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you from the capitol of Florida: Tallahassee.  Yesterday, I woke up (actually barely even slept because of chirping birds all night) at roughly 6 a.m. to get my girlfriend ready for her MCAT.  Thankfully that battle is behind us.  I feel like I have been studying for the MCAT for the past two months, too.  Don’t get me started about the audio tracks I had to listen to on the ride up to Tally.  How do you like the new toolbar on the bottom of this page?  Make sure to join our Facebook Community by clicking on the Community tab…and send a shout out.  Still working hard on the baseball guys that we are advising, and fielding offers for our basketball players overseas.  Here are some stories I missed this past week:
