Middle Staged - Vacations, Media Addictions, and What Not ~

The boys just got back from separate trips to Mexico, and share the love of leaving the world behind. The convo about vacations and breaking away from technology breaks into additions to social media, and somehow, they end up in a heated discussion about how people are so easily manipulated by their social news feeds. Couple shout outs: @cubs - we will see you on Opening Day @ Wrigley Field. And you may see some boys for the Dodgers series wearing @BaseballismInc gear during LA's batting practice. @dallascowboyscheerleaders2703, please show some love to Morgan Seymour as she's trying out for the squad. Go be awesome, Morgan!!!!@Chicago is so good; it got Ryan worried about New York being a disappointment. I guess we will find out. Stay tuned through May for the NY stories. @zachrydell6465 is out here on LinkedIn looking professional.@SecretsResorts has our attention, and probably too much of our money. But it seems their pools have a much better water temp than @ElDoradoResorts @Google are you or are you not listening to our conversations? BTW, comment on what Candy Crush level you are on right now :)And can we get some help with the pronunciation of Abreo in Rockford, please. Anyone?

Middle Staged - Flowers, Alcohol, Getting Old, and What Not ~

How then get into these conversations, we will never know, but somehow they get to talking about names, drinking, local flower shops. Plus - the boys got new mugs. For the record @DGYuenglingSon has really good beer, @g5brewingcompany897 has amazing seltzers, Rindfleisch Flowers does great work, and Jim has a party house. Ryan talks about the pressure of raising 3 kids in his 20s, Jim shares a shout out for local athletes, and if you want insights on Bourbon, we have that too.
