Final round coverage of the Canadian Open begins at 2:30 on the Golf Channel

woohoo...Hugs from CL. Just what the doctor ordered...

Thanks guys for the well wishes and suggestions... Mrs. Lew is happy that she gets the whole box of popcorn when we go to theatre or watch the Bills and TO...

[/sup]Remind me not to get old... Fez...ya gotta get old...sure beats the alternative. I am doing fine now..(Sunday) But on Thurs I was miserable.. Mrs. Lew I was in bad shape after hearing my voice and the fact that I never am ill. I told my golfing buddy from Ohio that I hurt as bad as if I had been hit in the nutsack by a John Daly tee shot.

...and I was looking forward to watching the Bills and TO and a big box of popcorn.

Last couple of days I have been away.. In my wife's hospital to be exact... (she doesn't own it LOL,,,,but is a key manager there) Anyways,,,,on wed AM I had severe abdominal pain that continued through the day. I had done a LOT of yard and house work on Tues and thought I pulled a stomach muscle... Took two Tylemol PMs before bed, but did not sleep at all. Thurs AM was my work "Monday" First day of my four day schedule...Getting in and out of the car was painful... Any time I moved my trunk,,it hurt...The transition from sitting to standing hurt,,,and so did the reverse of that...Once seated it was OK... Although typing at the work computers was even painful.... I got a couple of phone calls from friends and they could tell I was hurting. So I called co-workers and they were able to cover for me....My relief came in 3 hours early. Mrs. Lew made an appt with our family Doc ,whose office is next to the building where Mrs. Lew works...So that is real convenient. Saw the Doc and when she pressed on the lower abdomen, I was in pain,,,big time.... She made some calls and came back with the news that I was to be admitted to the hosp for tests and observation. Possible appendicitis...So at 4:30 on Thursday I was a patient...Had some blood work done and an IV with a saline / sucrose solution attached to a vein in my wrist. I asked for a Jack and Coke solution, but the hosp was fresh out of that...Damn docs took all of that.... Had two CT scans after drinking a horrid solution and tried to rest. No appendicitis..I was diagnosed with acute diverticulitis...Anti-biotics, rest and a low residue diet is the treatment. So I was home late Friday night and it was good to get home to Mrs. Lew, the critters and my 45 year old pillow....Can't sleep without it... And yes I am working on Sunday...I feel fine as I type this on Sat around noon...

Happy birthday fellow ELP fan !!

Lewiston....ArtPark..... Old Fort Niagara is an excellent suggestion by ExinIll

He is thinking it is 1977 again. In '77 Tom and Jack played the greatest two head to head rounds in British Open Championship. IMHO anyways

last night's match http://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/mls/...red-bulls_N.htm

reminder... LA Galaxy and the return of David Beckham and his good friend Landon Donovan... first game tonight....

PTR...You should land in Charleston in the rain or fog... More thrilling and white knuckling than ANY ride at King's Island or Cedar Point or 6 Flags ,,etc.. btdt

?? the night before her birthday... Cheap bastard did not want to buy a birthday gift... geesh

Buffalo(WNY), for the most part, is a large family spread out over miles but it's a place that we all still call home, no matter where we are today. amen

Therein lies the problem. US player goes overseas and rides the pine,,, unless he's a goalie.

Go UB...beat the dog-snot outta Pitt. I am still ticked off at Pitt for beating WVU a couple of years ago and ruining WVU's BCS title shot. Of course, coach Fraudriguiz's mind was elsewhere that week.

"Now that's a REAL stimulus package"

The Philly swim club incident was on the ABC news last night. But no mention of Akron.

Hopefully he did not do a fist bump with that Fe fist

You tell 'em Cablelady !!!

from Buffalo News on July 4 http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/723196.html

Saw YES two times.. OSU homecoming 1973....This was the concert tour that the 3 album set "Yessongs" was made. Then in 1977 in Charleston WV and Pat Moraz was the keyboardist. Tales from Topographic Oceans tour... That was the loudest concert I ever attended, in that my ears hurt for two days afterwards. Even louder than LZ at the Aud...... "Yes-light" << pretty damn funny. and Pooj...ELP in concert was awesome...esp in an outdoor venue like Rich Stadium (1974). there is talk of an ELP concert tour reunion But Keith is suffering from a hand injury.

Congrats maurader guy !! Well done !!!

Buried in the ever growing USA Confederation cup thread there is a mention of poster's favorite teams and championships (or lack thereof) So when did you become a fan of said team and when was their last championship. ? NFL ....Bills..became a fan in 1961....so 1964 and 1965 was fine by me. NBA...Cavs....getting closer MLB...Pirates (NL) 1960....I liked 1979, but since then ....... Indians (AL) 1965.,,, Can't remember 1948 NHL....Sabres...No Goal still bites.

The Brazillian goal in the 46th minute was brutal... Kinda like running back the second half kick-off in a football game. Still have to be proud of the USA in this tourney. Coming back from the depth of elimination to play in the finals is an achievement...Moral victory...sure. But is shows that more can be done. On to Mexico City in August....!!
