Been writing about the Bills this week. A two part, detailed preview of the 2008 team. Most of it is now in place after the draft, they even had Rookie mini camp last week. If you’re interested in such things, check out our Buffalo Bills Review: Articles page. Title of the articles, “The Team The…

One-On-One, Full-Court… Football?
This weekend we did get some pretty decent weather, despite a good bit of rain, and we took advantage of it! On Sunday afternoon, the boys and Kirstie and I headed up to the high school football field (just a few blocks from our house) and we found our way in through an open gate…
Just What I Needed
After a frustrating morning (perhaps nearly entirely self-inflicted – at least, maybe it didn’t need to be as frustrating as it was) and a frustrating lunch, I reluctantly decided that I should take our two-year-old Julia on her OK Night. She’s been waiting for quite a while (I’ve been busy) and there’s an eager queue…
The Path I Have Trod
Going way back to my college years – when I first started to grasp the reality of life with a living and interactive God who loves me more than I can possibly imagine – I have seen God lead me. Almost step by step. When I was a student at the University of Buffalo, studying…
Buffalo Bills News
If you are an NFL fan, you know that the annual college draft took place this past weekend… and perhaps you are happy (or unhappy) with your team’s picks. Well, the Bills used all TEN of their picks and have some pretty great new players. If you are interested in seeing what I wrote about…
¿Unos Mates?
Our friend, Laura, (who is from Argentina) sent me a link this morning to a series of videos from NBC’s TODAY show that were done from Buenos Aires. There were a lot of videos there, but the link/video I noticed was the one above about the most common Argentine beverage, yerba mate. Laura has gotten…
Springtime in Palmyra
I took some more photos earlier this week of the “greening” of our town. Actually, as you can see above… they were more of the redding, pinking, yellowing, and whiting variety. Maybe even some purpling. 🙂 Tons of flowering and budding going on around here, and I captured some of it on a walk with…
Greening
It’s been really warm here the past week or so. Today promises to be a bit nicer (at least, by my standards) with a high around 62ºF. Mostly I don’t like spring – probably least of all four seasons – because it means the hot weather is coming, and usually with melting snow and even…
5 Things I Hate
When my kids are trying to tell me a fun story from their day, and it’s just the wrong time and I hurriedly dismiss them in order to accomplish the task of the moment. Anytime I am mean to my wife (words, actions… however) whether real or perceived. Deadlines/promises/goals not met or kept. Seeing my…
Expectations
That word – “expectations” – certainly has some baggage, doesn’t it? I mean, even as I typed it for the title of this post, I thought, “That’s not exactly what I’m trying to say…” But I think it is. I do believe there can be good expectations. (And I fully acknowledge that, relationally speaking, there…
