Christmas Eve Eve

This is what happens when you go to the Pizza Plant two hours before the Headers start playing and start pounding pizza and beers like they are going to run out. This is my new friend Claudia who sent me these pix from Saturday night...Christmas Eve Eve. The Headers crank! We are now Roadies for the Headers! They are playing at Attitudes on January 27th. Hope they don't allow smoking in the bar!

More Florida Decorations

If I could only talk Angel Fish into this kind of decoration here, it would make Christmas that much less stressful! This is the kind of tree we should get every year!

Florida Decorations

Here is a typical Florida house decorated for Christmas. It is strange seeing Palm Trees with Christmas lights. This house happens to be Ernie's (the cop) house. His wife and daughters decorated it from about 8:00-11:00 PM. It was pretty fun to watch them from accross the street.

Cars in Florida at Christmas Time

Check out what people do to their Ferrari's in Florida to celebrate Christmas! It was playing Christmas Caroles as well. That is what happens when you have too much money and too much time on your hands!

Shoot out goal -Sabres vs Rangers

Shoot-out goal by Daniel Briere against the Rangers on 12/2/06

20 victories through 25 games.

Went to the Sabres game last night with Mike-n-Faith, We won in a shoot-out 4-3! Shoot outs are cool, it was my first live shoot out game ever. Daniel Briere scored the lone goal in the shootout, No wonder his jersey brought in alot of cash at the auction last Saturday!

Wind storm

It was very windy last night in Lockport, so windy it blew the roof clean off the pro shop at the county golf course. I sure hope Tom's office wasnt in that part or he is going to be a tad chilly this winter!

CD release sneak peak

The Headers new CD titled "Jammin with Jingles" will be out soon. Here is a sneak preview of the CD cover. It will have some live tracks recorded last Saturday at the Lockport clubs big party.

Stolli and Spencer both Rocked

Stolli was rocking at the benefit, whilst Spencer's stomach was rocking...this was a photo of Spencer right before Mount Vesuvius started to blow! Did the Headers play that night?

AF and I are off to the hopefully sunny and warm south...see you all when we get back...will be checking blog activity from the library...so keep on logging...Dan...since it is usually only you and me! Guess we could probably just talk to each other, eh?

Auction items bring high bids!

A few party goers Saturday night were suprised at the some of the nice items donated. This framed picture certainly brought high bids from the many generous folks attending the fund raiser.

Sharp shooters

Garreth (left) and Mark traveled many miles to visit Finnans Wednesday night. Garreth from London England and Mark from Los Angeles California! They tried to keep up with the Vixen but called it quits after a trip to Mighty Taco and Attitudes.

Look who's back 2!

Check out who came home for a free meal and to get their laundry done! Spencer was happy to see them home...I think the Angel Fish was too!

Look who else is here!

Jules and Mark arrived Sunday night so Denise had another buddy to share a glass or two of wine with. Julianne has a really cool job, ask me about it someday!

Look who's back!

The Water-Vixen was happy to have her pal Liz back in town for the holiday. They celebrated by sipping a few bottles of wine. Adam is here also which is cool because I now have a bunch of new planes for Flight Simulator to fly around!

Sabres win 4-2

Went to the Sabres - Penguins game last night, It didn't take long for Maxim Afinogenov to regain his scoring touch after missing five games with a bad shoulder. Our seats were sweet...club level with waitresses fetching you beer and peanuts!

my next new boat

Dorm room

We paid a visit to Laura's dorm room at Geneseo Saturday (11/11/06) night. As you can see there is a lot of stuff in her room, we even had a hard time finding little Woe as you can see from the picture above.We had dinner then took in a cool hockey game. Geneseo won 3-2 over Potsdam, first year player Sebastian Panetta netted his third goal of the year on the power play with MacDonald and Mitch Stephens picking up assists to win it for the good guys.

Hot Dog party

All these people are smiling because the Sabres just won, Thomas Vanek scored just 19 seconds into overtime to give the Buffalo Sabres a 5-4 win over the Florida Panthers at HSBC Arena.The cooler packed full of cold beer helped also!

Our Best Player

Our best player on Sunday, November 5th (Spencer's birthday) was definitely Brett Favre. Here he drops way into the endzone to attempt a pass. Sorry I didn't have one as big as Dan's...a camera that is...for more of a closeup! (See blog posted below!) Brett threw 2 key intercepto's that created 14 points for the Bills...without question the difference in the game since our guys pretty much sucked!

Denise and the Buffalo (Bill)

Denise got to meet one of the Buffalo (Bills) right up close and personal. He (She) didn't have much to say though, as it was one of the Quaker Boys victims (see blog entry below) from one of their many hunting ventures. If you miss this big ole thing with a bow and arrow, you'd better be able to run fast!

Tailgating B4 the Game

Big Al and Little Al showed us a great time before the Bills went out and beat up (sic) the Packers. This was after we got a tour of the new restaurant/bar/golf emporium, Frog Hairs, located on Transit Road in Amherst!

Oh deer!

We had a tailgate party at the Quakerboy game call facility parking lot near Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday. Joe gave us a nice tour and took us into the animal head storage room as well as filling us in on the history of the company. You can learn more about them here: http://www.quakerboygamecalls.com/ Doesn't it look like they are all looking at the camera, anyway some of this game was actually dropped with a bow and arrow according to Joe. The moose right above little Al's head in the picture above, i'm sure was as big as a cement truck before they sawed his head off and stuck it to this wall. Thanks Joe for a great pre-game party and tour of Quakerboy.

bigger is better!

When it comes to camera a camera lens that is.... these guys at the Bills game Sunday got a few nice pictures I bet. Spencer took us to the game to help celebrate his recent birthday. I think we should continue the celebration this weekend! Anyone up for that?

Talk Show Host & Police Woman

Guess what talk show host hosted the party?

Rough water!

Took this Picture Sunday afternoon at the cottage during a strong wind storm. The NOAA weather buoy #45012 20NM North Northeast of Rochester which is owned and maintained by National Data Buoy Center recorded almost 40 knot winds and a 17.7 foot wave at 2:50pm! Now that would make for some fun sea-doin' ! This info can be obtained here ----> http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=45012 This buoy will be pulled out of the lake soon for the winter. Maybe I should add this sight in the linkage section of this web sight!

News Flash

This is how my eyes felt after whooping it up at the annual Halloween bash at Cain's but I think mine were more swollen and bloodshot! I will recommend attending this event to all my "Native Laker" pals next time I see them!

Prize winners

These 2 lucky party goers won prizes at the annual Megan/Scotty Halloween party. You are probably wondering what is so scary about the winner of the scariest prize (person on left). If you were there partaking in the Halloween bafoonery you would know why!

The Daemen Crew Invades Finnan's

Here is the crew from Daemen who came to Lockport to listen to their Professor (pictured here) perform with Route 66. They rocked!

Former City laker

This would have been an excellent picture except for one thing.....can you guess what it is?

Local Priest arrested on Halloween

Actually the priest was a singer/guitar player in the band that played at Finnans, the police officer let him go as long as they played a few Tragically Hip songs in the next set!

Try Again

Not sure why the first one didn't work...but we will try again to upload pictures showing us before the big shindig at Meggers and Scotties place! What Spencer won't do to win a prize! (Which he (she) did win!)

Where is a cop when you need one?

How'd you like to get pulled over by this redhead?

Halloween Party

Here is the getups that we wore to the BIG ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY at Scottie and Meggers place! I hope we didn't embarrass our daughters at all! After all...Spencer was wearing their clothes! We sure missed the Natives! Hope they had fun too...

Pre-Halloween

Vixen and her wife/husband tried on a pre-Halloween getup at Spencer's. Getting ready for the real deal at Scotties tonight! Who knows...this could be the real color of the Vixen's hair...only Joanne knows for sure...know what I mean?

Learjet to land in Orleans County

I knew he would go out a buy one!

Learjet

I think Spencer should get his own Lear-60 like this one. This model is a good choice for car dealers they say.

OPC Reunion

Woe was reunited with 4/6 (which I guess is also 2/3) of the OPC Club...whatever that stands for! They drove all the way to Duquesne University for their little get together!

This Sucked!

We were down and out for four day cuz of the Blizzard of Friday the 13th (of October) or whatever they are calling it! But, thanks to the efforts of a few of our dedicated employees and some luck...and some National Grid dudes...we finally got our power back on Monday, October 16th at 4:10 PM or so!

Can Anyone Guess What These Buildings Are?

HINT: We are in Pittsburgh

Comin' at Ya!

Billy is tossing one at the photographer!

Heavy duty

If you think this stuff looks heavy, try to shovel it!

Let it snow!

We just got a dusting on Sunset, some people were not as lucky. This power pole was one of many to snap under the weight of more than a foot of heavy snow. This pic was taken out in Clarence on Mick's corner. Can anyone tell us how it got that name?

October Lake Effect

The Water Vixen braved this lake effect squall and made it home from school tonight. Pretty slow going approximately 10mph. I hope she doesnt start to hate snow like some people I know!

Wala Here is the Picture that goes with the post below.

Running in Manhattan this weekend!

This is what we will be watching on Satuday. We will be at a great park in the Bronx and the weather is supposed to be 60 and sunny. The only bad part is 14 hours in the car. We parents will do anything for our kids!!!!

Spencerville mascot

Someone sure has a talent for carving pumpkins.....i think it must have been Spencer!

Air Show

Thanks to our new friend Rob for putting on a airshow Sunday !
