Not exactly but a little known prep school in our backyard is known for the quality and number of running backs it has produced.

I am not a huge fan of Facebook or MySpace but I do have profiles on both. I don’t sit and regularly check them as my teenagers do. I do regularly check my teenagers’ profiles, though. The problem is a lot of teenagers and early 20s kids don’t get that people other than your “friends” [...]
Election Night Television Recommendation

Should you be tired early this evening of hearing about the lines voters don’t want to wait in (this is a small price to pay for the type of society we live in), the faulty machines that are being used (I am really hoping this doesn’t make big headlines), or how close or not close [...]

Yesterday, Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey, made the news official. HSBC Arena, in downtown Buffalo, and [...]

No, not the kind where the whole family comes into town. October means family weekends at the various colleges my older children attend. That also means - ROAD TRIP!
This weekend is family weekend at the University at Buffalo. My 21 year old son is a student at UB. He is also president of True Blue [...]

It is homecoming weekend in Morgantown, West Virginia. I remember the homecoming parades and big football games when I spent three years in Morgantown in the early 80’s. I remember the floats and the celebrations and the Pride of WV marching down the street. This year’s homecoming opponent is Syracuse and you can see the [...]

Well, last weekend was homecoming at my two son’s high school. This means there was a week of events at school and then homecoming Saturday. All fine and good but the weather, for the first time in my memory, canceled the annual parade.
Homecoming week starts off with the Junior-Senior Reversal game. The junior and senior [...]

I typed up this blog entry yesterday before heading out for Mass but imagine! My luck with computers and it is off in cyberspace somewhere but not on my blog.
I spent Saturday watching a number of college football games. The one of most importance to me, though not by any means the most exciting - [...]
