Nobody Puts Patrick Swayze in the Corner

--With time running out in January, I wanted to hurry up and get out the last part of the interview with John Stillman on the year that was 2009:  The Year of Death.  I apologize up front for the questionable sound quality and other issues: this one was thrown together quickly, like a Keanu Reeves screenplay.

--Speaking of parties I would like to pass along an experience I had in the first class of my Spring semester at Alabama.  It's on of my core classes in the Sport Management curriculum.  The professor asked every one of us to get up and tell our name, home town, our dream job, and we also had to sell ourselves on why we would be good for that job.  Obviously, we heard the typical responses:  athletic director, sports agent, marketing exectutive, student information director, etc.  Well, I had to speak from my heart.  After about 15 students it was my turn..."Hi my name's Casey Sturgill.  I'm from Walnut Cove, North Carolina.  I would like to work in sports for several years to earn some money to start my real job.  I would like to own and run a bar and grill in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  I believe I would be perfect for this job because I like party, I feel I know how to party, and I feel I can facilitate the perfect party.  Thank you."

--The professor responded, "Well that's certainly unique. I have family in Cary, North Carolina.  Next."
