Football Season's Over. So, Now What Do I Do?

Amerks vs. the Abbottsford Heat.  Rochester lost 3-2 in overtime.  A very, very short overtime...  At least Moose was there.



Faceoff which was immediately followed by a fight.  



Geez Louise making Gertie nervous at the office.



She may be a cat; not a dog...



After a rough day at the office with all the cats and big dogs, she likes to steal my snuggie and curl up on the top of our couch.  Stop stealing my stuff...



So, this manure spreader at work is on its last legs.  It needs to be replaced and we have no money in the budget.  Any suggestions?  There's a lifetime supply of cookies on the line!

New Years Eve With the Razorsharks

As part of my xmas present, Megan brought me to my first Rochester Razorshark minor league basketball game at the Blue Cross Arena.  Please let me introduce you to Finley, the Razorshark.



warming up



More Finley



Oh man!  My first Razorshark game is also a banner raising ceremony!  Now I can tell my kids that I was there when it all happened!



The banner!






Mayor Tom Richards throwing the highest tip off in the history of basketball.  






Unfortunately, this ladie's half-court shot for $10,000 barely made it to the free throw line.  



The Razorsharks beat the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Steamers 107-98 in the 2012 championship banner raising home opener.  Megan and I had a great time.  Lots of great people watching.  For some reason, the pictures didn't turn out very good.  Hopefully, my next Blue Cross Arena event will look much better next week...



Well, winter started about three months later than it did last year.  Hopefully, this doesn't mean that it will ending in August to make up for lost time.  


That's about it for now.  Very, very busy at work right now catching up on everything with the holiday season.  So, nothing too exciting to report...

And now for the blog!

Rochester Americans (Amerks) vs. the Binghamton Senators.

Nice shot of the Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial



This goal judge is probably the most stoic man in all of minor league hockey...



FIGHT!



WHO WANTS A T-SHIRT OR FRISBEE!!!  WHO DOESN'T!!!






It was the Moose's birthday on the 13th.



Takes a shot...



Then took a shot...



Lemoncello in East Rochester.  Pretty good sandwiches near our apartment where we met up with Sarah and Pete for lunch



If I said this was the craziest thing I saw while looking at open houses this past week I would be lying.  There was lots of great artwork in many homes.  There was one home that had more faux rocks, paneling, and other similar things on the walls than I knew existed.  If only I could have taken pics...



Megan fulfilled a V-Day tradition of mine, which is the February 15th candy buying spree.  If I have kids, they will be very confused when we celebrate x-mas on Dec. 26th, Easter Monday, and so on...



What?  You've never seen a Valentine fish in a tux before?  What means love to you?



My first car.  A 2008 Nissan Versa.  It seems my days of riding public transportation are over.  At least it's bright white and has bike tires...


That's it for now.  Let me know if you need a pet because I know where you find one...
