Welcome, everybody, to my first official "Nicks Notebook" page for RIP.  Today we go to Black Moon Manor in Greenfield, Indiana.  I'm really looking forward to it, it seems to have quite the reputation of being haunted, and I, for one, intend to find out. 

But right now, I want to talk about the team.  First of all, of course my partner Jason.  My second brother.  We've known each other for a lifetime, and this little group we formed has come a long, long way, my friend.  I couldn't be more proud.

Misty, the Case Manager.  The first person recruited into RIP, and our third in command.  Thanks for all the hard work you've done for us so far, and all the hard work I know you'll do in the future.  We go back a long way as well, and I'm happy to have you helping us call the shots.

Will, Tech Manager.  Couldn't ask for a better one.  You've come a long way with us, buddy, considering you started out just running a camera.  Good job, glad to see you've made it this far.

Hope, Secretary/Treasurer.  You may still be fairly new to the team, but you've already advanced this far.  You're awesome!

Neil, Head Trainer.  You have probably the best sense of humor on the team, easy to get along with, which makes you a great trainer.  And a great friend.  Glad to have you as part of this little family.

Wayne, investigator.  My brother-in-law.  I'm happy you've been with us so long, and I hope you continue to stay with us for a long, long, time.  You can go far with us, man.

Ashlee, investigator.  There's not too many people I would rather have watching my back on an investigation.  You really showed your improvement from that first night at Niccum cemetery to the more recent Fischer Theater.  You know what i'm talking about, and i'm very proud of you.

Kevin, investigator.  You have also come a long way, and have improved by leaps and bounds.  Thanks for the hard work buddy.

Nikki & Amanda, the "rookies".  You ladies both are showing plenty of potential.  I can't wait to see how you take to Black Moon Manor tonight!

Our extra board: Mindy, Justin, Ahrin, & Lee:  I'm proud and excited to have each and every one of you with us.  You're all great in different ways, and I hope one day you can all move up to being full time!

And finally, to all of our former team members: Adam, Roberta, Shannon, Shawn, Melody, Amy, Josh, Kyle, Ryan, and Charlie.  Its too bad you all had to leave us for various reasons, but thanks for the time you did spend with us, and for the dedication you showed while with us!

And now.....I hope Black Moon Manor is ready.....because we are!
