Slumber Party !

Looks like the girls had a wild time at their party !

Penn State Tailgating !

Chris Mattise, Ed Sokoloski, Paul Sokoloski, Blaine Fawcett, Don Flynn, Jim Good, Keith Yurgosky & Tim Lutz

The boys from Lakeland made their way to Penn State yesterday for some tailgating at the Penn State vs. Temple game. The game was a rout but we had a great time.


Here is Blaine, Keith & Paul by the JoePa statue (with the bandaged knee).

Beauty is but a light switch away ... but fat is always there.

I Spy !

I was wondering why my shrubs have been looking so bare ... hmm... seems I have a friend who finds them quite tasty.

Chuck E Cheese !

Annie had her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese tonight !


Here is Emily helping Annie celebrate her birthday with Chuck E


Here she is with a few of her friends who attended the party.

Santorum - Swann Song

(who dresses their kids like that ? that should be considered abuse)

The votes are still being counted but it looks like the Democrats are going to take the House of Representatives and maybe even the Senate. In Pennsylvania Bob Casey routed Rick Santorum.

I just heard that in Rhode Island an exit poll stated that 62% of voters were happy with the job their current Senator, Republican Lincoln Chafee, was doing, and yet they still voted him out of office. That can only say one thing... people are unhappy with Bush and taking it out on the republicans. These same exit poll results showed 75 percent of Rhode Island voters disapproved of Bush's job performance.

As for Lynn Swann ... well we all knew how that was going to turn out. He never had a prayer, the republican party hung him out to dry, they never gave him any support. Swann may be able to go back to the football booth for ABC ... after Craig James called Joe Paterno and "old fart", there may be a job opening.

John Kerry how can you be so stupid ?

The republican party has to live with the Mark Foley scandal this election, but not to be outdone... John Kerry has come to the rescue of the democratic party with a blunder of his own. Yesterday, even those his comments were taken out of context, he disrespected pretty much anyone who has ever put on a US military uniform. I have never served in the military and I was appalled at his comments, so I can't even imagine what those who serve are feeling right now. It's a good thing he married into money or he too might have found himself in Iraq. Looks like we won't have to worry about a Kerry 2008 campaign.



In other news , my nephew Brad came up to fish while on fall break from college. Brad landed this nice bass on a perfect day for fishing.
