What is this blog about anyway ...
I also planned on writing a little something in here everyday. That has not been possible as with my job and family of six children my life stays quite busy.
In a few weeks I will be starting back to college again, this time for my Masters degree. I feel like I have finally figured out what I am suppose to be doing for a living, an elementary school teacher.
It is amazing to me how much energy I have and the excitement when I go and visit the classes of children when I teach Junior Achievement. I have felt the same way about the children on my Upward Basketball teams. I want to make a difference with my life and I feel like this is it, teaching elementary school children.
So, with going back to college my posts to this blog may even further apart than they already are.
I have many ideas of things I would like to comment on and share, I will try to get to them.
Today we ran into a very dear friend and his family at Lowe's, Lee Brown. I have not seen or spoken with Lee and Sherri in probably 2 years. I have let the busyness of life keep me from visiting with friends and family. I need to make a point of getting up to visit with Lee and Sherri very soon.

Buffalo Bills "Other" RB from the NFL Draft
Chris Brown is the Lead Journalist for BuffaloBills.com.
Sabers move on to Eastern Conference Finals
After a stalled offense for games two, three and most of four the Sabers offense came back solve the Rangers' defense. The key was the Sabers coach Lindy Ruff and his assistants Brian McCutcheon and James Patrick striving for solutions to beat the Rangers' defense.
The Sabers will have their hands full with the Senators in the finals. There are also many story lines and much bad blood between these teams.
First, you have the Sabers taking out the number 1 seed Senators in a five game second round series during the playoffs last season.
Second, the blindside check on Sabers' co-captain Chris Drury by Ottawa's Chris Neil that left Drury with a concussion and forced him to miss four games. The check turned into a bench clearing brawl.
So, you can see these two teams really do not like each other, as evidenced by another article about the hatred between these two clubs.
So as we get ready for this series here is an opinion article that speaks of the coaching job Lindy Ruff has done since being in Buffalo.
