The Plan, and Some Sad News

I remember reading an interview with Mark Cuban where he said words to the affect of, "If you're doing the same thing as everyone else, you're doing the wrong thing."

But anyone who wants to get in touch or send groceries, etc., can reach Mike at mikesonia@verizon.net. Mike was a standout at Delbarton School (NJ) and won Georgetown's unsung hero award in 1985 as a senior.
