Home Sweet Home

I am sure many of you have read Wendy's blog by now describing the play by play of Friday and Saturday and boy was it fun. The whole family also ended up sick after our escapade. Owen has been hacking and sneezing while Wendy and I both have very sore throats and the typical aches and pains that go along with being sick.

I have learned a couple of things after this adventure. 1) Always book at the counter if your flight gets cancelled and 2) Don't fly through Chicago - O'Hare if at all possible. What a nightmare that place is.

Palm Springs was however awesome. I highly recommend it to someone who is looking for something atypical. What I mean is not the beach or a cruise or whatever. There is lots of hiking if you don't mind driving 30 minutes, tons of golf and of course, your hotel pool if you want to relax.

Palm Springs; 6 Days and Counting

On Saturday, March 15th, 2008, me, Owen and Wendy are headed to Palm Springs, California and man I cannot wait. The average temperature this time of year in Palm Springs is 80 and if you have been paying attention to the news lately, you now that we are buried up to our arm pits in snow right now in Cincinnati. I thought I moved from New York to get away from this crap?


Syracuse has won 2 games in a row for the first time in I don't know how long. They have not capitulated in the second half like they have done so many times this year. Maybe we can do some damage in the Big East to gain an at large bid into the NCAA tournament. The annual dance knows as March Madness. The Big East tournament begins in earnest on Wednesday I believe.
