Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day outside. Friday, on the other hand – when my Mountaineers lost, was an ugly night. But back to Saturday … There was a huge contrast between the wonderful weather most of the country was experiencing Saturday and turmoil and upset the college football top 25 experienced Saturday. Teams were… Continue reading Contrasts
Friday night football sends chills down the spines of people in small Texas towns. Since I live in upstate NY, Friday night football doesn’t happen all that often. The school my kids go to does not have lights but last night and next Friday, the local football team travels to a stadium for Friday night… Continue reading Friday Night Football
I will admit I am picture shy after trying to find one for the flirting blog. I know just what I want but now cannot find it. Anywho… Now, there will be a footnote that baseball doesn’t have the balls (pun intended) to put on Barry Bonds’ record. I do believe that all people in… Continue reading Barry Bonds
Yeah, yeah…historic baseball weekend! Oh wait, to a purist that would have been last weekend when Cal Ripken, Jr and Tony Gwynn were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. I am not interested in Alex Rodriguez being the youngest player to ever hit 500 homers. If I were a Yankees’ fan,… Continue reading Baseball – Tom Glavine
While my 20 year old daughter may be talking about the local tour stop of CMT On Tour 2007, I am talking about L’Tour de France. Another of my huge fascinations with the country of France – other than its food and wine – is this endurance bicycle race. I have biked for a long… Continue reading The Tour

While I am not a huge Anaheim Ducks fan nor a big Ottawa Senators fan – I lean towards Ottawa because they have a… Continue reading Hockey Into Off Season for Another Year
For those of you who don’t know it, I am a huge hockey fan. Worse than that, I live in upstate NY and am not a big Buffalo Sabres fan (they are okay and if they are the last team left standing I would be fine with that). I am also not a NJ… Continue reading Here Comes the Plaza
… soccer. It use to be that I thought of March Madness as the start of the travel soccer season. That ended this year as my soccer-playing daughter is in college. So today, in what may be promising to be a nice spring day, I get my spring dose of soccer. Susan’s new college team… Continue reading My spring dose of ….
Okay, I admit. I made dinner – a really good turkey bolognese sauce and whole wheat spaghetti. I drank half of a bottle of Shiraz. I had to pick up my daughter from work at 3. It was annoying to me as I really wanted to watch the San Jose-Detroit hockey game. I went… Continue reading Detroit Finally Shows Up for a Game
Do I dare tempt fate? I have managed to clear a space in the laundry room – no small feat – and want to bring in from storage the boxes with spring/summer clothing in them and swap out the winter items. What happens when I do this? Unfortunately, history has proven that I end up… Continue reading Do I dare tempt fate?
