Eric Jenkins is in New Hampshire, fresh off a baby visit and a Wiz Khalifa concert he forgot to mention.Discussed in this episode: – Aisha in Las Vegas: On a work trip to the NACTA college sports conference. Overstimulated by the blinking lights and twinkling sounds. Not a Vegas girl. Still needs to find one thing she likes about it before Wednesday. – Eric in Providence: Visited friends Johnny and Amy Gregorek and their new baby, Francis. – Fitness check-in: Both hovering around 10-15 miles a week of running plus walking.
