Nate Shafer, Reporter
Hello, my name is Nathaniel Gerald Shafer. If you’re reading this you have been blessed with the knowledge of my middle name. Very few people have lived to tell about the day they learned my middle name. You might be one of the lucky ones. Since this time last year a lot about me has changed. I completed my junior year of high school, won a fantasy football championship, learned to dunk, adopted a Great Dane, visited Las Vegas, and received a dental checkup. That dental checkup wasn’t really notable. It happened yesterday and I’ve still got that “just cleaned feeling”. It’s fantastic.
