Once a month for the last year or so. I have organized a gathering of former co workers for a little happy hour. I call it the G7 since there is a group of 7 or so I invite. One guy is a former mgr who has moved far up the ladder.But we like hanging with him and it's good for him to blow off steam and be real.

Tonight, out of the blue he surprises me. We are on one drink and he goes pstall, what is your IQ? 120 or 130 or so? Umm, I don't really know I say. He then goes man, you are brillant and you need to be doing something else. Uhh, yeah, I agree.

So later on he gives me a ride home and had never seen Montford Drive. He goes let me see these places. We can grab another drink. Ok cool. So while we are hanging outside he goes ok man, I want to tell you something in full confidence.

I will sponsor you, to do WHATEVER it is you want to do. I only ask one thing. Deliver.

He mentioned some guys names that I know and how he helped them land new jobs and he goes dude you are far and away more talented and ahead of them. You are just lazy. I told him I agree with the lazy part.

So now he and I are gonna hang tomo at the Wells Fargo and come Monday he said come up with some proposals or ideas and he is going to get me into a think tank for the bank.

This was so unexpected. He goes dude. The ideas you have shared or come up with and the impact is amazing. You deserve to be taken care of now.

Totally amazed. So kids. Make sure you continue networking. It will pay off one day.

      Bills predictions

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.

      This makes me wish we took a flyer on Quinn Ewers late in the draft

      He has been a good player and clean player over the years. I don’t follow that close but think he was closing in on setting his resume for his place in the all time rankings. I am sympathetic to him becaus this will hurt him there.
