Naw, she can be a next generation ticket girl at the TBD Tailgate. My girls had fun and were treated quite respectfully. Congrats to you and your wife. Now go rent Parenthood and get ready for a great ride.

Actually, we talk about a lot of things. I am always honest with them, but sometimes the honest answer is "none of your business"! We can have conversations about sex, or drugs, or religion, or politics, or the proper way to eat an Oreo. That "none of your business" works both ways for me and the mini-rocks, by the way, unless it is an issue of safety or health - THEN I can be a bastid. I do think for the most part we respect each other. I cannot think of a topic that has come up that we have not been able to discuss. Living through the craziness of the Woodstock Era (I just caught the tail end) I observed a lot and participated in some of it. I never considered myself a wild man, just an anarchist.

Hey, someone had to get the joke!

Last book - 3001: The Final Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke Current book: Marv's autobiography Last movie: Heart of Gold - Neil Young concert (last Saturday) Before that: V for Vendetta - 2 days in a row! Try Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Seuss - actually very good for kids and adults

STFU and pass the buttons.

I LIVE in Irondequoit (really). Every week is Italian fest at my house! You must be thinking of this: Gates Italian Fest

Ask what the last book they read was, and if they liked it; I was asked that once. You could ask the same about a movie.

You guys from the Ministry of Defense (or whatever you really call it) are SO much fun at a tailgate.

Don't know the Italian Fest, sorry. I never got into Spyro Gyra but respected their music. Who is calling who "old", Dad!

Garcia used to jam with NRPS and played some on their 1st album. The concert I mentioned was to promote the release of the New Riders' and Commander Cody's debut albums. We were hoping that somewhere Jerry would sneak on stage but no such luck. Yes, I guess am an old fart from some perspectives; just in the early part of my second half century on this planet in my eyes. (click on my name to see my picture and tell me I am old!) My first concert was the Blues Magoos when I was twelve. I had to lie about my age because it was a teen club.

I think you are really Carlos Castaneda incognito!

NRPS will be performing at the Lilac Festival in Rochester May 14th. They still have some of the original members, and I would really like to see them again to see if they still "have it". One of the first Cosmic Country bands. I last saw them in 1971 on a shared bill with Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen at UB. Link: NRPS Be careful if you link at work there is music playing kind of loudly, when you reach the page. Remember the song "I Don't Know You"? Most people remember them for "Panama Red".

I think most of it is just that it is the off season. It is exacerbated by the fact that the Bills had a terrible season, after there was so much hope last September. Everyone and everything from the owner to the turf will be ripped and burned - Marv is just an easy target right now. Based on your avatar, shouldn't you name be Cerebus?

I was going to tell that story, but you beat me to it. A classic way to meet! Hell, Ben was just a toddler! You introduced me to quite a few TSW folks at camp that year!

...so on Earth Day, have a double cheeseburger Garbage Plate and a super-sized MacGlobal Meal

Best advice is the easiest. Just make sure he understands that if you walk in the room, it is time for him to leave. He gave up that right for $450. No compromise.

Happy Birthday, young man! Now go have a Garbage Platelet!

I think Carm is going to become more of an active "background" partner to Tony. She has accepted (admitted to herself) what Tony's real profession is. He will hopefully see that she is the ONLY one who has always been there for him, if he lets her. She has discovered some very important information about the "mob" family. Warning her husband is a given - she cares about HER family first. I was glad to see the season start to turn directions, with Tony apparently on the mend. I can only take so many dream episodes! Look for BIG changes. I think AJ's stupid movie idea would be a great commercial success. Have you read the movie listings lately?

It was sunny and 39 degrees here this morning. I did not even wear a coat to work! Rochester NY - the Cancun of the North.

I am sorry would you repost that message using only one or two syllable words? I for one am DELIGHTED that Ralph Wilson Stadium is 80 miles from my door. Am I delighted at the last several seasons? Of course not! I have discovered however, that beating a dead horse on a chat room wall does NOT improve the community. Fan since 1964, Rock

Wasn't that Fergie's job?

Ice was a no-show, but is always welcome. Jay joined Jack, me and Dan for some good food! Rich, I had the special.

<burp>

I figured grits, but with sweet potato fries and wood chuck or some other road kill. Oh yeah - and corn dogs!

Ha-ha! This is so true. Somehow the ranting experts become Casper Milquetoast when they meet the REAL person. I am glad of that too, because the coaches and players would NOT waste their time on "friggin' idiots"!
