  1. Not a cult.  Started playing about six months ago with some folks who’ve been in it for a while.  We don’t take it too seriously, it’s a social thing and you get a little exercise.  Can you spend $200+ on a paddle?  Yes, but you don’t have to.  You want sticker  shock?  Take up road biking or downhill skiing. $$$$!

  2. Years ago we played “buzzword bingo” when we went to “high level” meetings.   We would make our own 5x5 sheet like a bingo card but we would write in 24 words or phrases (the center was a free spot).   You had to make a copy before the meeting and play on the copy so you couldn’t cheat.   When you got five in a row you would cough loudly and mark the time on the sheet.  Everyone put in a couple of bucks.  A few times someone said BINGO!  It was hard to not laugh.

  3. My opinion on why good OT’s are hard to find….   College today is all spread offense, ball is out quick, pass a lot more than run.  The college game is very different from the pro game.  Linemen get drafted on potential and RAS scores, they’re not developed like they used to be.

  4. Saw Robert Plant and Alison Krauss at Tanglewood last night.  Outstanding show, full crowd, couple of sprinkles but weather was better than expected.  They performed more Zep songs than I thought they would and they were great.  Probably half of their list was from their first album with 5-6 Zeppelin songs tossed in the second half.

  5. I got one of the Star Trek Enterprise ornaments when they came out (first  in that series).  Wasn’t interested in any that followed.  They sell for $100+ now.  Might be a “ collectible” but I put it on the tree every year.  Not sure if I want the Josh or not…

  6. I’m a lefty for everything except shooting a gun.  My dad got me a left handed bow which was cool.  When we were kids the stocks and bolt actions on our rifles were “normal” so I shot righty.  Expert marksman in the military so I guess I did okay.

  7. Once in a while we go to SPAC and sit outside the gates in the state park.  You can’t see the stage but the sound is good and you bring whatever stuff you want in a cooler (like Tanglewood) You’re also by the tour busses and once in a while the artists stop out and say hi.  $100+ for lawn seats is stupid.

  8. As Edwards and Bates both have some experience at center,  is there a chance that Morse has had enough concussions and walks away?   He’s been dinged up a few times over the last couple of seasons.   I realize that Edwards had a concussion last season but don’t think he’s had multiple like Morse.  Now we’ve got two bigger, younger players to possibly step up.

  9. Not vegan or vegetarian, just getting older.  I’ve found that as I age my diet changes.  I eat more vegetables, less meat, alcohol and baked treats in moderation.  Almost no processed stuff (but I buy Sahlen’s every time I’m in Buffalo), I make most everything from scratch.  STAY ACTIVE, figure out what makes you feel better and stick with it…

  10. I don’t drive anything fancy but I try to take care of it.  I’ve used “Nu Finish” soft paste in the orange can for years. Wax it before winter and when things warm up in the spring.  Easy on/off and it seems to protect the finish well. My car is a 2015 and looks like new.

  11.  Starting this year, anything over $600 (total) paid through PayPal or Venmo will be reported to the IRS as income.  Folks use Craigslist and Marketplace for untrackable cash sales.

    Up till now it’s been $20,000 or 200 transactions.  Just dropped it to $600 this year.  Apparently they’re not collecting enough in taxes…
