Wedding #1 of a possible 5 Timothy Smith and Amy Knepp

A great time was had by all in the Hershey/Harrisburg area of Pennsyltucky for Tim Smith and the former Amy Knepp's wedding. I am too tired to rant so I'll throw some zingers at you about the finer times. Old people call robots robuts, southern kids learn to count by saying "One, Two, Earnhardt...", Hershey does smell like chocolate but they don't put cocoa beans in the mulch, you can slow dance to Bobcaygeon, and most importantly if you try to break into the basement of a hotel and 3am to find more beer you'll only come away with bottled water and oranges!

Nate Makes Rochester Rattlers

Nate Hill, who I have profiled many times on this blog officially made the professional outdoor lacrosse team in Rochester NY called the Rattlers. He has yet to see the field but they have 0 wins and 2 losses so hopefully they'll shuffle the lineup. Congrats Nathaniel!!!

Dowd delivers for Grand Island lacrosse

-from The Buffalo News

The Grand Island boys lacrosse team did more than beat St. Joe's, 4-3, in a nonleague game on Friday. "It was a big one for us because we had a tough loss on Wednesday (8-7 in overtime) to Gowanda," said GI coach Steve Steck. "We had had a good couple weeks, so we really wanted this one to get back on track heading into the Class B playoffs next week." Senior Justin Dowd scored the game-winner for the Vikings with less than six minutes left when he took a pass from junior Ryan Samland from about five yards out. The goal was Dowd's second of the game. St. Joe's (8-6) had tied the game with less than nine minutes left on a goal from Brendan Denz. Chris Miller won six of 10 faceoffs, which Steck said was a key.

National Lacrosse League CHAMPIONSHIP Buffalo Bandits vs Colorado Mammoth

Yeah I was there! The Brandits lost 16-9 and at one time only trailed 11-8. I was a great experience though. I had never seen that many people at an indoor lacrosse game in my life. They said on the loud speaker that is was 16,000 plus. Unfortunetly the Sabres were playing their final game in their playoff series. During the lacrosse game people in the luxury suites would cheer really loud in random times. It was also televised nationwide on ESPN2...which means loads of TV timeouts!

BUFFALO SABRES GO FOR THE CUP

The Buffalo Sabres ice hockey club are on the verge of playing for Lord Stanleys Cup for the first time in seven years and the third time in team history. They won their semi-final series last night with a 3 to 2 overtime victory of the Ottawa Senators. Here are a pair of videos. First of the highlights of the games recorded from Canadian Television. The second is a live account of the sudden death overtime goal scored by Jason Pommenville. Take notice of the local Buffalo announcer Rick Jeanerette....a legend! I'm not usually into hockey but since the rule changes and the fact that m local team is successful I find myself becoming more interested every game!

The Sam Roberts Band

Town Ballroom May 11th 2006 It was a good show and was extremely loud. Nate and I were right up front next to a huge stack of speakers. Everyone was watching the Sabres so it was easy to get up front. They mixed up the old songs and the new songs well. The crowd was really responsive and energetic. The opener was an hour late so unfortunately I did not get to see the whole show.

For the fan, for the sport

Sir Timothy Smith's Bachelor PartyWe journeyed down the barren Interstate 90, took a right on the Interstate 81, through a sovereign nation, and arrived at the metropolis that is Binghamton New York. I was introduced to Tim's new split level abode, and I must add it is very comfortable homie....like my homies! The "Drink Yourself to Death Corner" in the downstairs "Man Room" was very impressive. We traveled to Boca Joe's, a tropical themed bar/restaurant/club where the festivities began. Bud Light draught beer, horrible pizza, and the Sabres on the big screen, is all a man could ask for! The rest of the evening is hazy except for Clip's brow being owned by the cross bar of a folding chair, Tim attempting a worm break dance then finally spraining his ankle in a dancing move where left a fence in the bar. Remember what the commercial says...What happens in Binghamton stays in Binghamton!
