Happy Holidays!
What's good YB family? I know it's been a minute since I've been on, but things have gotten pretty crazy! I hope you all had GREAT holidays with your family! I know mine was exactly what I needed. A few day's before Christmas, my partner Joe Walters, my younger cousin and I had one of our Run N' Gun Lacrosse Camp's in M ichigan which was one of my most enjoyable camps yet (which I'll explain later). Camp was Saturday and Sunday, and then Sunday night, I flew into ATL. My sister Kia (the one who made the video of her wack secret move) moved down there about a month ago, so I hadn't seen her or my niece Sage since! When I got to the airport in Michigan, I had a feeling things were going to go a bit south because of the weather, and the fact that it was the day before Christmas Eve. My flight was delayed a good 3 hours or so, the airport was filled with screaming/crying babies, and it was awesome! As miserable as everyone was about their flights being delayed/canceled, everyone was in the holiday spirit and it was a pretty cool atmostphere. Now, with that being said I couldn't have been happier to get on my plane and leave that place! When I landed in ATL my sister and father picked me up at the airport and we went back to my sisters beautiful house and hugn out for a few hours, then called it a night. It was definitely a bit different spending Christmas in ATL, simply because every Christmas up until this point has been spent at my parents house, but with my sister having the little one (she turns 2 in Jan!) and work on the 26th (She's a Midwife), it would have been too difficult to get to Baltimore and back. It was an amazing 4 days with my family, definitely something I've been waiting for for awhile. I made sure to hook the family up with some hot nike gear and I made sure Sage stay's rockin Jordan's! I got some pretty hot stuff from my family as well, but the best present was definitely being able to spend 4 days with them messing around and catching up with out a doubt. Back to the camp in Michigan for a second. I've done A LOT of camps in my lacrosse career and gotten to a lot of different places, but It ruly believe these kids in Michigan that Joe and I are fortunate enough to work with are different. Then NEVER complain, they always say 'yes sir' or 'no sir' and most importantly, they work EXTREMELY hard. Those kids were absolutely exhausted at the end of camp, and it's because they put everything they had into every drill we did. During one on one's, we had too little guy's almost get in a fight! Not because they hate each other or were trying to hurt each other, but because their emotions were running high, and they were competing, it was incredible. They hugged right afterwards, and then went right back at each other the next time it was their turn. Not only are they hard workers and good lacrosse players, but their great people, and they made the camp last weekend one of the most enjoyable I've had the opportunity to be a part of. We've got another camp in Michigan in the summer time, so hopefully the kids come back. Anyone got any exciting new years eve plans? Any exciting new years resolutions? Write in and let me know what they are! I've got a few myself, but I'll hold on to mine for now. As for the day, it's going to be a pretty busy one. I've got to head over to the gym in a few minutes, then head up to the mall for a bit to pick up a few things, then start packing up my house for the move out west, then out to the girlfriend's house for dinner, and then home in bed! It's going to be a long one, but productive. Oh yeah, is it making anyone else feel great to watch Grant Hill play basketball? I coouldn't be happier for the guy. He's healthy, playing well and looks like he's extremely happy, so keep doing you're thing Grant. I'm reading a good book right now called Five Good Minutes, by Jeffrey Brantley and Wendy Millstine...It's a good one, you should check it out. It talks about way's to keep your focus all day long and things of that nature, it's pretty interesting. That's about all I got for now, I'll get at you all soon. KH

Unfortunately, I'm on call this long holiday weekend, thus no NYE plans. Resolutions definitely include being more organized and taking better care of myself. (Might as well practice what I preach to my patients.)
Hope you have a good trip back over here to Cali!

I go to Bryn Mawr, right around the corner from Friends and have attended every NCAA Men's Lacrosse Final Four in the last six years. You are an amazing player and the reason I push forward in my lacrosse career. Hopkins Lacrosse is one of the true passions in my life. Are you holding any clinics or camps back in Baltimore anytime soon? If only you played for the Bayhawks. ..
