Seems to have settled (for today) on the Fairmont Southampton and Jet Blue for the flight. Weird that the package deals on Jet Blue and the usual travel sites really aren't any cheaper than getting the flight and hotel separately. I know the package deals include all taxes, but even adding those to the room rate, it's still cheaper to do it separate. Odd.....

I let my season tickets expire this year....I switched cars with my daughter (she attends Canisius College) and what I'm driving now isn't going to get me back and forth to Buffalo from Syracuse all season. But I did pick up a couple pair of tickets for the opener....Section 115 and 124, the latter very close to my season tiks in Section 126. Was surprised there was a good selection for pairs of tickets, but there were not any sets of 4 together in the lower bowl. Am much more excited about the season with those babies in hand!

Jet Blue and Tripadvisor....I'm on them! Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah, my daughter really focused in on the Fairmont Southampton. I told her I was going to keep looking, but she's already got her mind set on that place! As far as I can tell, there's nothing under $200/night that won't creep her out, and she's not a princess either. She's a lacrosse player, but she won't handle bugs or dirty rooms. It's going to be hard to convince her to stay anywhere else, I'm afraid! The southern shore seems pretty nice, but then, isn't all of Bermuda "pretty nice"?

Thanks BB - we plan to!

I can hear my daughter's response now: "What, are you out of your mind??" My reply: "No, but Hossage is!" Does look pretty cool though.....maybe I'll ditch her and go alone.....

This weekend a good friend buried her only child, her 18-year old son, after a very violent and tragic car accident. It just made me want to spend some memorable time with my daughters. So, I'm thinking of taking a 5-day vacation in Bermuda with my 23-year old daughter (no, there are no photos of her available). She wants to have access to a nice beach, and we want to be close to water activities, like snorkeling, kayaking, and maybe some hiking. Anybody been there and have suggestions for a place to stay? I'm looking to keep it around $250 a night. Thinking of the second week of September, right after I attend the home opener! Thanks in advance.

Great.....just what we need on this board - ANOTHER Structural Biology/Biochemistry Ph.D. Geez!

All I care is that the 5th round punter makes it. The NFL can never have enough Zoltans.

I got a call late last night from a good friend who told me her only son had been killed in a car accident early Sunday morning in Horseheads, NY. Ryan Scherer was 18 years old and headed to St Bonaventure in the fall. Although I only knew him for a short time, he made a wonderful impression on me. He was a funny, sweet, active and energetic kid. He had a lot of friends and the respect of the adults in his life. My friend is a single Mom who raised him well, was involved and supportive of everything he did, and is now without the center of her world. It is a very tragic thing, and makes me thankful my three daughters have made it safely to their early 20s. Give your kids a hug and please keep Ryan and his family in your prayers. Those wishing, may remember Ryan through memorials to the Soaring Capital Soccer Club (PO Box 390, Elmira, NY 14902) in his memory. Thanks for letting me share this; I am dumbfounded over this and wanted to do something to help spread Ryan's memory. Obit

No freakin' way!! I hear he doesn't even do squats as part of his workout!

Ha! I'm sure there are others, but your story reminded me of one time when I did try to heat a can of Dinty Moore Beef Stew on a Coleman stove....but neglected to vent the can. This was back before pop top cans. Thank God...that thing blew up like a balloon in no time. Would have died from the shrapnel......

Now there's an interesting list! Excellent! Rush and Neil Diamond....wouldn't that be a hell of a tour???

Hey Hoss - I'm really sorry to hear about your buddy. I wish it was as easy as not letting our friends do the same thing, but we both know it's not. You have found sobriety and that is the most important thing. Keep showing those still using how good life can be. And keep making those that have gone before you proud.

LOL! Actually, once you loaded it with the 5 albums, it wouldn't be so crappy anymore!

More importantly, how did you find out about them? Are they really good, or are you just checking them out?

You don't find some of them attractive? Feel free to nominate your own!

Ha..yeah that was it! I remember The Cars were pretty stoic and didn't fit the rock n roll atmosphere at all. Also remember my buddies trying to buy a Happy Meal at McD's before the show and having to leave because they were laughing so hard. Those were the days.....glad my kids didn't know us back then.

Must have been late 1978. Bob Seger in The Aud. Got hooked up with 10th row or so seats by a guy (Saul) that used to sell concert tickets from a small booth in Eastern Hills Mall. Did just enough acid to make it a memorable experience.

Not sure if she has been nominated yet, but try Colbie Callait...I sure would like to! Colbie NSFW

Very nice. What was the average shutter speed on these? I don't see them listed with the metadata.

Opps! my bad! I used to watch no less. And I liked the old school Promo better than the updated version!

I'd crash it and test those air bags.....

Not even the theme song from the Commander Tom Show????
