    What’s your earliest memory of the Buffalo Bills?

    My earliest memory was in the 62 or 63 season.  My dad and coworkers shared season tickets and I was able to go to a few games.

    One memory is that after a field goal or a extra point was kicked, the ball would go into the stands and security would chase down the 

    ball. One kid who caught the ball was really fast.  Somebody in the stands yelled, "Sign him up now we need a half back"

    Then the idea of nets to catch the ball was developed.  We used to go to

    Chin's Chinese restaurant in downtown before the game and even though I was 8, I really liked Chinese food.

     

    In 65 their group tickets were 2nd row behind the visitors bench.  Horrible idea as players would stand on the benches

    blocking the view of those in the front rows.

     

    Did you play football, at any level?

    I was joking. 

     

     

    When I referee a  Middle school soccer match, I'll ask a player what grade they are in.

    No matter what year, I reply that I loved  grade X and was there 3 years.

    Quizzical looks and some laughter occur as the player realizes I am kidding with them.

     

    Your joke about 7 years in HS was great

    Back in the day,  growing up we did not have  midget , peewee or Tyro football.  We just played in the yard, full tackle and no equipment.

    In 9th grade the school started its first freshman team and I played on that. It was the first time any of us

    used equipment.  Those shoulder pads were huge.   Played 2 more years then blew out my knee on the

    FIRST day of practice senior year.  

    I am not a fan of the little kids playing full tackle games until they are 12-13 years old.

    I was fortunate to see Return to Forever in college in 1975.  Little did I know

    how good they were.  I was just a young whippersnapper then and did not know better

    RIP to one of the giants in the musical world.

    PSA Passports

    Don't be in a hurry to get a new or renewed passport.  Regardless of the reasons, 

    getting Mrs. Lew's renewal passport took awhile.

    We mailed the documentation and check on Nov 30.

    The check was cashed in early December.

    The new passport arrived today Feb 8.

    A nine week process.

    And yes we are going on a cruise sometime in 2022.
