No Surprise Here, Pilgrim

Happy Birthday, Duke!

Your Score: John Wayne

You scored 52% Tough, 4% Roguish, 23% Friendly, and 19% Charming!

You, my friend, are a man's man, the original true grit, one tough talking, swaggering son of a bitch. You're not a bad guy, on the contrary, you're the ultimate good guy, but you're one tough character, rough and tumble, ready for anything. You call the shots and go your own way, and if some screwy dame is willing to accept your terms, that's just fine by you. Otherwise, you'll just hit the open trail and stay true to yourself. You stand up for what you believe and can handle any situation, usually by rushing into the thick of the action. You're not polished and you're not overly warm, but you're a straight shooter and a real stand up guy. Co-stars include Lauren Bacall and Maureen O'Hara, tough broads who can take care of themselves.

The Three at Mickey D's

Three Rays of Sunshine

Everyone else has family pictures on their blogs, so I figured I should, too.



My three granddaughters, from left to right: Ashley, Emily (with American Girl Doll Emily), and Lauren.

The best part is that I will be seeing them this weekend.

Go Sabres!

The Buffalo Sabres beat the New York Rangers 5-4 to advance to the Eastern Division Finals against the Ottawa Senators. In another incredibly exiciting game, the Sabres overcame the crowd, the brilliant goal-tending of Henrik Lundqvist and the relentless pursuit of Jaromir Jagr, to win the second round in their quest to win the Stanley Cup. They had previously beaten the New York Islanders in the first round. Could this be the Sabres', and even more importantly, Buffalo's year? I hope so.

You can take the boy out of Buffalo, but you can't take Buffalo out of the boy.
