The day started out a bit slow. Elise and I couldn’t leave home until the two school-aged boys had gotten on the bus. Of course, due to the lovely spring weather in Binghamton, they had a two hour school delay. It was rather icy out from the look out all windows in the house and… Continue reading Road Trip Day One
My college-aged daughter and I are heading on a road trip. Yes, the trip is set to satisfy both of our college hockey fanaticism. We may even get some shopping in on Saturday. Tomorrow morning, in what is suppose to be snow so very appropriate for hockey weather, my daughter and I will head to… Continue reading Road Trip Coming!!
I am not sure if I am referring to the suddenly, totally white ground outside or the NCAA college basketball tournament. Actually, I live in upstate NY. I know I am referring to the tournament. I was excited as I drove home from the CHA Tournament last weekend and listened to the NCAA tournament selection… Continue reading March Madness – For Real
I am, in case you haven’t surmised it yet, a WVU Mountaineer through and through. I spent three years in Morgantown on the main and Evansdale campuses and love my college sports.

I got a phone call, a totally unexpected one, from my 21 year old daughter last night. I was in my room getting ready to settle in and wait for the new episode of “Brothers and Sisters” when she called. She is currently a junior at Niagara University. Until she left for college three years… Continue reading Another Purple Eagle to NHL
Okay, so I am a Mountaineer fanatic! This is not something that is taken lightly or liked by many in the area of upstate NY I live in as we are less then 80 miles from Big East team Syracuse. I just could not put a real adjective in front of Syracuse this year.… Continue reading Mountaineer Football – Big East Champs
Yes! I admit – and probably always will – that I am a diehard Mountaineer fan. College football is one of my favorite sports and this year my Mountaineers are really doing well. Unfortunately, their doing well is not consistent. They have been ignored by almost all the major networks when talking about a national… Continue reading Finally, Some Respect
My 17 year old son knows to not get between me and the TV when the Mountaineers are on TV. What he is slowly coming to realize is that any good college football game is a good reason to let Mom use the living room TV and to let her be. I was just screaming… Continue reading College Football
