There were so many good things about yesterday.....but let's start with the obvious:

THE NEW YORK GIANTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!

I love the Giants and I can honestly say that the last two weeks have been extra christmas presents. That game last night: wow. Plaxico and Eli showed up to play, Justin Tuck was amazing, Webster's pick at the end ( Read more... )

 This time of year, specifically February which I refer to as The Suck - after the holliday fun and business where life starts to get back down to the dirty business of everyday existence. The Suck also doesn't have much to offer - the weather usually sucks, monthly highlights such as Valentines Day usually suck, and work usually sucks. The only ( Read more... )

 This week and next week are crazy busy as I try to scramble things together before I take 11 kids to the Netherlands for the last time. Money has been a real pain in the ass this year, as with the rise of the euro - the trip is more expensive. The total for this year is 19K, and I am still scrambling to pay last minute fees like hotels, and ( Read more... )

Ah........2007 will be a very fine year to remember as a Giants fan. We destroyed the Eagles in our first match up - in Philly. That alone, was frankly the highlight of my season.

 This afternoon I finished what I hope to be the first of many letters applying to schools. The first one was for a school in Central jersey, a private boarding school. The other was for Madrid ( Read more... )

Happy New Year Kids!

Well, it's 4:30 and I am resting at the computer having succeeded in driving back from Boston in crap weather. I left around 11am, no problems until I got outside of the Boston city limits and then from Wocester to Hartford I drove in a snow storm. Lots of fun. Eventually it tapered down to rain and the roads got progressively ( Read more... )

 Onwards to Boston ( Read more... )

 Yaksmas was very nice this year....except the cold I caught from my godchildren David & Ian. I woke up on Yaksmas Eve with a full blown cold and I drove to my folks dripping and congested. Yaksmas Eve I spent a really nice day with my sister, dad and Mom....Shannon cooked a spectacular roast beef with tatoes and mozzarella and tomatoes.....and a ( Read more... )
