Tuba Christmas
I just came from the mall. I know, the Saturday before Christmas and only five days out, what was I thinking? I was thinking Tuba Christmas!

Today, December 20th, there were… Continue reading Tuba Christmas
The UB Response to David Letterman
Not that I stay up to watch David Letterman but he did some bashing of the University at Buffalo Bulls after they defeated Ball State in the MAC Championship game. Here is the UB response – read by none other than my 21 year old son.
Holiday Puzzle
