One more thing to pass along here. We subscribe to a podcast called Vintage Toon Cast that offers free, public domain cartoons via the iTunes Music Store (or their website). The kids loved the old Superman series from the 40s. Well, I just saw the one from the 50s called Duck and Cover. An educational…

I don’t know if this is for real or not, but I saw it on a news post from CNET.com today (I think). Someone put together a little 10 question quiz that is somehow related to the US Citizenship Test? It was only 10 questions, so I thought I’d try. I got em all right!…

Daniel Briere, the short, shifty little French Canadian with the soft hands got a wrist shot to flip up over Carolina goalie Cam Ward and just barely cross the goal line a few minutes into overtime on Tuesday night, and the Sabres are headed to Carolina for Game Seven on Thursday night! The Sabres are…

No, actually, that title is probably not what you think it is. It’s not the regular human body temperature (give or take 0.6ºF…) nor was it the high temp today on a sweltering, muggy, nasty Memorial Day in Buffalo. (Though perhaps it felt like it.) Ninety-Eight degrees was the temperature in my office when we…

Today is Memorial Day, and we are here in Clarence at Grandma & Grandpa’s house, getting ready for a parade this morning! We had a Memorial Day Eve party with our friends the Drakes last night. That was fun! There was a giant new swingset in the back yard that kept all the kids entertained…

BUFFALO, NY – The Buffalo Sabres leave RBC Arena in Raleigh a tired, and almost spent team. Every time it seems they have the upper hand, a goalie change seems to completely stymie their scoring. It happened in game three of the Eastern Conference Finals, and it happened again tonight in game five. Buffalo now…

The Sabes are doing great, leading their series 2-1 after a great win last night! I did a search for the remaining games on OLN for this series, and posted those above. But, hopefully, if all goes well, we’ll only be playing tomorrow and Sunday’s games! Yahoo!!! 🙂 Go Sabres!

Was on a walk with the kids today and found a tree with these leaves… Bonus points to the first one who can tell me what kind of tree it is!

The Eastern Conference Finals began this afternoon. We finished watching the game at around 9:45pm (tape-delayed by us, due to some other plans for this day). And I was just in shock. Seriously. This is nuts. Buffalo has never won a championship. Well, I take that back… the Buffalo Bandits won the NLL championship their…

I know, you probably think I’m crazy. But I actually considered buying a plane ticket to go down to NYC today just to be there for the opening of the biggest and first 24-hour Apple Store on the planet. I mean, come on… it’s in my own state… But, alas, the funds (and other obligations)…
