I do root for the New Jersey Giants but we are big Buffalo bills fan who at least play in New York State.

The son of one of my childhood friends was the QB for the Dolphins,Jets and a few other teams.

Laura has an MBA in Finance, I met her in grad school. Still no idea why she left VA and came to Mizzou for grad school. 

 

I think she knew she would score a hot undergrad.😉

What happened to her first husband 😉

I loved Bill Hayey music when I was young.

Had a Frank Zappa experience when I heard my first rock and roll in 1954 went to the movie Blackboard Jungle.  Zappa claimed that Rock Around the Clock got him started in music.

Where it you endure Canada's winter last year,  Iqaliut? 🥶

For some citizens of BC, they might consider it to be comparable.😉

Today is a great day. Our baby, youngest DD, earned her Master’s Degree in Business Admin (accounting) last May but didn’t get to have a graduation.  Today was 2021 commencement & 2020 grads were invited to participate.  It was staggered appointment times and they were only allowed 2 guests.  Tonight we’re taking her along with middle DD, SIL and 2 little granddaughters to Flemings to celebrate. It’ll be our 1st time inside a restaurant since Feb 2020.  It’s times like these that make me truly dislike oldest DD and her family living in PA.  

 

Congrats to you both on your daughter’s success.

Wife was born and raised in Buffalo area diehard Bills fan and she converted me, we did a cruise out of Brooklyn about ten years ago and there was a huge group of passengers from Boston for some reason. On first night of the cruise we were at a table for four my wife and her mother were sitting across from me and both called me a liar when I said Doug Flutie was sitting behind them, which he was . If was there every night didn’t want to bug him but on the last night he got up and talked to some people and I had a chance to talk to him and got a picture of him with my wife.

I go to see him play at quite a few games in Calgary in the early 90s and took my grandmother to see him play in Toronto.  She “loved” him.

Thanks everyone, truly appreciate all the congratulatory wishes.  Re-reading my original post, it sound like I dislike oldest daughter who lives in PA 🤣.  Of course what I meant is I dislike “the fact” that she lives in PA!

The novelty of snow wore off sometime in my teenage years. 

No novelty for me either especially working as a manager for a grocery store always had to drive in it but Grandkids sure do love it.

I can relate every time I tell someone I'm from Kansas City and they say, "How do you like living in Kansas?" to which I reply "I don't live in Kansas I live in Missouri."

 

That one confuses the heck out of me, although it seems to make sense to all of you because there is a river? in the middle. 

We were flying buddy passes to Mardi Gras many years ago. And I had to ask the gate person which airport this was? And they said, "Kansas City". 

And I said, "Oh cool. I've never been in Kansas before. "

And she said, "You still haven't been there. We are in Missouri. " 

Granted, geography is not one of my strong points. But I still think that is one of the strangest things in the United States. Especially for people that grew up watching Wizard of Oz.

@GlobalMethod who lives in Greece will also keep us updated 😉

Far from optimal at this point regarding C19 ... The C19 rate is still very high ... Vaccinations are still at a slow rate ... ICUs are at max ... this is following a strict lockdown for several months ... not good ... they are opening up the economy this week in many ways including restaurants ... I just hope there is no huge spike in 30-45 days as happened with India after they opened up everything ...

I've never been a football fan by geography but have enjoyed all the NY teams ... 🙂 ... this year I have been intensely following the NFL draft ... I was trying to predict which rookie would go to which team ... but ... that was nearly impossible!

 Doug Flutie 

Before Doug went to the Bills I saw him a playing for the Toronto Argos. My brother and I had Argo season tickets since the mid 1980's. Flutie was a great QB, perfect for the CFL game. He was so fun to watch. After he left, I saw him play once during our annual boys weekend sports trips to Buffalo. A Sabres game on Saturday night, chicken wings at the Anchor Bar, taxi back to the hotel at some ungodly hour, and then the Bills on Sunday afternoon. In later years the routine changed to the Anchor Bar first, Sabres second, in bed at the hotel by 11pm, then the Bills on Sunday. Hey, even Doug slowed down eventually.
