  1. See the Pantheon in Rome, the Parthenon in Athens, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and the Great Pyramids in Giza.

     

    I highly recommend taking a Royal Caribbean cruise. I hit 2 of 4 on that cruise, and it was a very comfortable trip. Hit me with a P.M. if you want details.

     

    Rome is a trip that should be done by itself. Pantheon is amazing.

  2. Yes I would have been drafted, and I probably would have done the same thing that I did in 1978. I joined the U.S. Air Force. I assume that I would have done a tour in Vietnam, Thailand, or the Philippines. When I joined, there were still a few guys (6-year wonders) on their first enlistment that had spent time in 'Nam.

  3. 2011 was a rough year, but one major goal was completed - I finished a second college degree.

     

    2012 goals - I'll throw one out there - I want to learn to speak conversational Italian. My oldest daughter (age 24) is also working on it. We got Rosetta Stone and started working through the program this past week.

     

    One more - I've got an old hot rod sitting in my garage that needs some TLC. I think this is the year . . .

     

    Thoughts?

     

    By the Way - Happy New Year to all my TBD colleagues!

  4. I would LOVE to see the Bills beat the Pats tomorrow.

     

    Barring a win, I would like to the see Bills play a respectable game tomorrow.

     

    In the event of a Blow-out, I would like to see the Bills finish the season WITHOUT ANY MORE INJURIES!

     

    If all the worse scenarios happen, I hope the Bills get the best possible draft pick they can attain with a 6-10 record.

     

    That is all . . .

  5. Do you do a dinner on the eve or on New Years day?

     

    Do you go out?

     

    Do you do Ham or some other good eat?.

     

     

    Not sure what we are doing.

     

    Beef Jerky and Twinkies.

     

    Ok not really. Tonight we are having pizza. Tomorrow I will make sauce and pasta. Yawn . . .

  6. Personally I feel we are. This season is a let down after such a great start, but we had a lot of injuries this year, more than most teams deal with in 2 years. I'm encouraged with improvement. If Jackson and Johnson are both back next year and we draft well this year, I think we will see a very competitive team take the field next year. And if not, well that's why you drink beer before and during the game.

     

    I feel like the Bills are a much better team than they were last year, but frankly - they almost HAD to be better this year. We had a good 2011 draft, and some of the lower level free agents we signed have shown they are worthy of being on an NFL roster.

     

    I'll tell you after I see how they handle their upcoming FAs

     

    This is where I think Buffalo failed this past offseason. For instance: The Bills did not retain Geoff Hangartner. Do you think we could have used him this season?? I do. Here's a recent quote regarding Hangman's 2011 on-field performance: Dec 28 OL Geoff Hangartner has done a terrific job filling in at right guard for Geoff Schwartz this season. It will be interesting to see if the Panthers re-sign Hangartner, a free agent, in the offseason or simply go with Schwartz when he comes back. We should have gotten some FA help for the O-line in the offseason.

     

    The Nick Barnett signing was a good one, but we really could have used a pass-rushing specialist or proven defensive end. I suppose if Kyle Williams had stayed healthy, DE performance would have been better, but we don't have any DE that strikes fear into opposing offenses. I almost hate to say it, BUT - I wonder how Maybin would have done this year if he was given one more season with the Bills. Obviously we will never know.

     

    Here's to hopin' the the Bills front office knocks it outta the park between now and next training camp! :beer:
