I was watching the second hockey game last night, featuring #5 seed San Jose vs the #1 seed Detroit Red Wings. And I noticed what I think the Sabres might be lacking so far in the playoffs. Yes, they won the first round in 5 games over the Islanders, and have a 2-1 advantage in…
5 Reasons
You might know that I really, really don’t like summer… and that’s mainly due to the hot, sticky weather. Ick. Just really not for me. But this past week of warmness reminded me that there are at least 5 more reasons to not like summer… Ants Mosquitos Flies Alien Bugs Spiders (except that they eat…
Tuesday Tidbits
NFL DraftThis past weekend was the NFL draft, as I mentioned here previously. This year, the crazy part was the Bills drafted pretty much as they were expected to! How crazy is that? Last year everyone was flipping out over the insane picks the Bills made… this year, everyone is much happier. (Last year, all…
NFL Draft 2007
Today is the big NFL Draft! Well, today and tomorrow. The Bills have 8 draft picks in the 7 rounds this year. They should be able to get some pretty decent players. (Last season, all the players we drafted made the team, and most made pretty significant contributions.) The funny part about the draft for…
Miller & The Sabres Grab 2-0 Lead
The Sabres have Ryan Miller to thank for another playoff victory. That, and some timely scoring from guys who have been doing just that all year long. We missed the game again last night due to strange TV scheduling, but we managed to catch the final 5 or 6 minutes, and Miller looked as great…
Missionaries
One more quick thought for the day… I love the idea of missions. There are so many people in the world (of course, including our own towns and our country) that do now know the reality of the Kingdom. They don’t know that God takes great pleasure in knowing us, and in restoring our relationship…
Starfish & The Spider
I mentioned not long ago the extensive list of books I am currently reading. One of those was the book you see to the right. I’ve been focusing on that one lately, and it’s amazing how much what this fellow is saying about the business world (really, so far it’s just an observation of various…
Baseball Means Summer
I was looking out my window this morning, and the grass looked a little greener. I don’t mean figuratively. I mean, literally… it looked greener. The shadows were a bit different. The sun is moving into it’s summer position. The world outside just seemed a bit more “summery”. But the one indicator that summer is…
Four Years Of Huge Debt
OK, that’s not really what we’re celebrating today. But it was a funnier title. 🙂 Today is the day we moved into our yellow house- our first house – four years ago. Can’t really believe that. Can’t really believe the size of the figure on the “balance owed” ledger on the bills from our mortgage…
I Sleep Because I Have To
After watching the Ducks beat the Canucks (hey… that rhymed!) last night in the second game of the double-header on Versus, I decided to watch the NFL Lives I had TiVo-ed. It’s draft time, ya know! But when I started those, I remembered that I needed to clear space on the Mac Mini so that…
