Agreed. It's my favorite novel.

I like the hire. We get some continuity for a very good offense, but I bet Brady will get to be a bit more aggressive (he is in the Sean Payton coaching tree). And the defense can only improve with McDermott's soft zone prevent defense regularly letting good teams torch us in the playoffs.

Only chance for one final game at Highmark Stadium would be Bills-Charhers in the AFC Championship (which would be great for the Bills and for Buffalo!).

The identification was entirely due to our awesome rafting guide, Mark-- the ecology-sage of Adirondack Adventures (an amazingly learned and cool guide!).

Was excited to see a new kind of creature on our river rafting trip on the Indian and Hudson Rivers: hellgramite (the larval form of Dobsonflies-- basically, Sleestak-looking egg-like sacs lazing on an exposed rock).

Just visited Whitehall, NY. Bigfoot kitsch, the birthplace of the US Navy, & a chance to see Champ: what more could you ask for (except maybe one open restaurant)? Had a blast.

Even more than usual, Buffalo is throwing mixed weather signals these past couple of days. The Nickel City will only be dragged kicking and screaming into full Spring, it seems.

Are you suggesting that somehow journalism is real labor and should be valued as such? Agreed!

But if someone offers a second-rounder, the draft is apparently full of great RBs who can catch (and maybe even block a little, too). I especially hope.Clevelamd or Tennessee might want to deal.

Following James Cook contract negotiations updates is almost like a sport.

Did you try to do a double-sided single lanyard? That would be nifty.

Beautiful weather in Buffalo right now. Real Spring is coming early this year; I can feel it.

I think so (unless the phrase emerged from NHL fans, expressing dismay that an entire half of a power-play has already transpired)

That would be 2026 Toronto. I haven't yet done my planning for the 2926 MLA.
