St. Patrick's Day in Scranton

Just another great St. Patrick's Day Parade day in Scranton this year. Weather was warm, the crowds were huge.


Everyone had a great time, including this guy...even though he won't remember.




Only 52 more weeks until NEPA doesn't suck again.

Dancing with the Stars ... not quite

Here is a link to some future contestants for Dancing with the Stars!

PSU Orange Bowl - Instant Classic !

One of the most intense, and nerve wracking football games I have ever watched. It reminded me of a Yankees - Red Sox playoff game.

Congrats to PSU ! Nice to finally see you playing football in January again !

...in a sad note... my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the Coal Miners who were killed in West Virginia. What a crappy way to start 2006 :(

First time on Skates !

Annie went Ice Skating for the first time today and had a blast. She didn't fall once !

Happy New Year 2006 !

Another year in this hell pit of NEPA. YIPEE !

Shoveled a little today ... I am sure we will now get 2 ft of snow in the next week.
;)

Skate-O-Rama !

Went rollar skating yesterday for the first time in about 20 yrs.

Last time I went it was at Skate-O-Rama and the music was My Sharona !

Thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee !

For Red Sox fans... this has got to hurt !

JohnNY Damon - Captain Shaveman !

Look who is the latest Red Sox to jump ship and join the Yankees ... none other than JohnNY Damon.

This is great ... now we can watch as the Boston Press and the Red Sox front office start a smear campaign against him, as if he was the worst player to ever put on a Sox uniform.

Funny how Boston's stars always want to come to the Yankees, but you never see the Yankees star players wanting to join the Sox.

My guess is for $52 million Johnny Damon will be able to afford a really good razor now.

SNOW DAY #2

Another day off from school for the girls. Snow and ice last night, so school was canceled. Could be a long winter at this rate.

Annie & Emily were not complaining !

SNOW DAY !

Had a Snow Day today ! No School or Work ! Mother Nature dropped off a foot of #$%@(_+^ snow last night. So we took this opportunity to make our annual trek with the Sokoloski's to find the perfect Christmas Tree. Once again...we failed ! Marion and the girls had fun while I trudged through the snow looking for the tree. ;) ;)

PA Bear Season

Beer and Bear ... Pennsylvania Hunting at its best !

Congrats to Al Guari for getting his first bear on 12/3/05 !

Bear Steaks for Everyone ! ;)

Pro Bowlers Tour

Took the girls bowling ... it was quite an adventure. There is definitely a reason people drink when they bowl.

;)

MURTHA SAYS: BRING 'EM HOME

The Hawk has spoken... Rep. John Murtha, Chairman of the House Defense Appropriations Committee , wants the troops out of Iraq now. WOW! He wields a lot of power because of his position... this could really start to turn the tide against the Bush regime.

Murtha is also a decorated Veteren of the Vietnam War. This should prove to be interesting.

Big Pimpn' his way to $52 million

The Yankees resigned Matsui last night for 4 years $52 million. Again...the Yanks probably overpaid, but he is a class act, and I'd rather see a guy like him make the money than a loser like Terrell Owens.

Hey T.O. if you wanted to make really big $$, you should of played baseball.

Visiting for the Weekend

Had a couple of visitors in my backyard this afternoon. I think they just wanted to see how the patio project turned out.

:)

Congrats Jim Wansacz !

Congrats to State Rep Jim Wansacz and his lovely bride on their wedding today ;) ;)

What a great day for a November wedding !

How about that Nittany Lion !

You gotta give him credit. He's original.

Here is a link to him pretending to be Napoleon Dynamite.

WHITE OUT !

This is why TO wants out of Philly

Can you blame him ?

I called it !

Just as I had posted on October 27, Bush has now appointed a radical conservative for the Supreme Court. Harriet Miers was just a smoke screen, who had planned to withdraw all along. (and yes we can not wait for book to hit the shelves)

The American people are so naive, they don't understand all this is scripted. Nominating Alito was the plan all along. Now as soon as people complain about him... all the talk show hosts will say...they didn't want Miers and now they don't want Alito... you can't satisfy the liberals.

People need to wake up !

They're not so scary...

Saw these Halloweeners today.

We are in so much trouble when they get older. ;)
