also notice that roberts isnt on the list. maybe they both went last year. hard to believe that none of the guys on the list were there last year.
It is becoming more and more clear to me just how misguided Brandon is. I love him to death, but I sure hope he enjoys the Louvre or gets accustomed to the Euro-Dollar, because Europe will be his home soon.
