Yeah, that was more a timing thing than a conscious decision on our part, though. For the first 8 years, we didn't live together (not even in the same town).

He hid them alright. Burp!

Yes you will, Tom. I saw your post over in the Trading Post forum re: Jets tickets. We can discuss that later today. Will Nikki be dragged to Nick's, I mean, will she be joining you there too?

No.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone either tomorrow at Nick Tahou's, Saturday night at Danny's, Sunday at the tailgate/game, or all of the above. I want to take a moment to reflect upon what happened to me 17 years ago today. I was in college at Shippensburg University at the school-sponsored non alcoholic 'dance club' they held at the student union. This cute little girl came over to ask me to dance (as my friend and I were proceeding to head to a party that had alcohol!). I asked her if she was sure if she wanted to dance with me. She said yes. So, we danced together that night and made plans to see each other the next week (dance was held every Wednesday night). So began the 17 year journey that has been my life with Psycho Ward 86. Thanks for the dance, honey. Only 9 more days until our 5th wedding anniversary, which also is 17 years from when we began dating. I can't wait!

Hey T80, send the cell # to my email address: (RRich@GoBills.net). I'll make sure to check it between now and when we leave in about 7 or 8 hours.

That's a good point, geek. Haha!! Overall, I think everyone did okay. There weren't many head scratchers among our group. This should be a very competitive league.

Oh, he is. He is.

Well said, Labatt. Will we be seeing you this weekend at Hammer's Lot?

Does this mean he's played for every team in the AFC now EXCEPT the Bills?

I was there last year Guffalo, I just got there real late. I did come back there after the game, though.

Have you met anyone from the board yet, Kelly?

Well, at least I'll see you and RICH and his CNJ group for the November Pats game.

Understood. We've been doing a lot of running around here lately just getting ready for our vacation. I just wondered if I needed to find another buyer. That's one of only 2 games I still need to sell.

Look for a big, goofy looking blonde guy. I'll be the guy standing next to that jerk, more than likely.

Have your plans changed for the 11/21 game against St Louis?

It's always the reason, isn't it?

Feel free to send me a PM over @ BillsZone or email me at RRich@GoBills.net if you need to.

Sorry, man. I need to clean out my PMs. The box is full. D'oh!

Me, I've already met so many of the people from this board, yet I know there's a ton of others I still have to meet. I'll be looking forward to seeing those I know and have already met and I'm really looking forward to finally meeting some of the people I interact with here so often, like Thailog80 and ICE. This is going to be a great weekend, and it's going to start (at least, for me it is) in about an hour, when my vacation begins!! See you soon!

I may be up for that. Going to Perkins before the game is part of my pre-game routine.

I wish I could go. Since I'll be going to 3 Bills home games, the Bills-Ravens game, and the Steelers-Browns game, plus hanging out w/richNjoisy's CNJBBB group for the Bills @ Pats game, I can't afford any other trips.

True, he isn't small, but he's the smallest starter on Carolina's line. You think opposing offensive coordinators didn't factor that into their game plans?

We ordered pizza and wings from Blasdell Pizza last year when we came up for the opener. I really liked their pizza and their wings were pretty good too.

I like the Anchor Bar. My wife and I were there the Saturday night before the Bills-Steelers game in '99 and we had a great time. It was really crowded that night, as there were tons of Steeler fans there, but the food was good and they had a jazz band playing that was good too. I like both Anchor Bar and Duff's wings. I don't think either "blows away" the other.
