Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's "Hump Day". Got back from Phoenix, AZ late last night, Beth and I had a great week out there and all. It's good to be home except for the colder weather which I'll get use to real quick. Enjoy everyone and be safe out there...... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's Friday! We had a good time at Schlesinger's last night, the usual suspects were there as well as a couple of old friends that we haven't seen in a while. Sports wise, this weekend is filled with NFL and college football, NHL, and all three NASCAR racing series final races for the season in Homestead, FL. Army football takes on Morgan State at home tomorrow with a 1200 (12 o'clock) kick off. If they win, they would be bowl eligible in a couple of the earlier bowl games. Enjoy your weekend everyone and smoke a favorite or two if you get the chance........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. We had a good weekend overall even with the early snow storm yesterday morning. Congrats to Jimmie Johnson for winning his 7th NASCAR Championship and joining the elite group of Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. Army won big time beating Morgan State 60 - 3, one more game and that is the Army vs. Navy game on the 10th of December down in Baltimore. Enjoy your Thanksgiving week everyone and please remember those that can't be home with their loved ones during the holidays........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0420 as always and it's Tuesday (this week's Hump Day). Nice and quiet at the office, the West Point Cadets are off starting at noon tomorrow for the remainder of the week and there's only a Turkey to cook on Thursday and watch football the rest of the day. Enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's that day after "all the food you can eat day". We had a great day with the house filled with family, tons of food and drink and all. Today, Beth and I will start to transform the house from Fall into the Christmas holiday season. We've got storage buckets to bring up to the attic and a bunch of them to take down. Hopefully I can sneak a cigar in and a couple of cold ones as well. Enjoy everyone........ :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. Beth and I had a great weekend overall. Got to spend it with friends and family and we also fitted in some relaxation time as well.

As I stated yesterday in reference to the upcoming Army / Navy football game, I was wrong with the date. It's not for another week as the game is Saturday the 10th. Enjoy everyone and remember to be safe out there....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We had a good time last night, Schlesinger's was packed and you can tell that Christmas is coming and all. It's gonna be a busy weekend for us starting tonight with a nieces sleepover that Beth always enjoys. Tomorrow, we are going to the West Point Holiday Show at Ike Hall: https://www.facebook.com/events/1119653498091827/ and Sunday we want to put up the Christmas Tree and go to the Cornwall Holiday festival: https://www.facebook.com/events/1269667919736798/. Enjoy everyone and smoke a favorite or two if you get the time...... :-)

Good morning all, the espresso coffee is on and it's a chilly Sunday morning. Beth and I had a fun day yesterday watching the West Point Holiday Show and then afterwards going out to dinner. Today, we have some running around to do and then stop by the Cornwall Holiday festival. We are putting up the Christmas Tree Wednesday instead, no need to rush and cram everything into one day. Have a great day everyone and enjoy....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on since 0400 as we (West Point) had an Adverse Weather Conference Call resulting from the snow we got this morning. It's looking like we have another round of snow Tuesday evening into Wednesday, winter is upon us and I can hardly wait until the Spring time is here, LOL. Enjoy your week everyone and remember to be safe out there...... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on as always and it's a brisk 28° outside right now. As Beth and I were talking last night, it could be worse as the folks in the Dakotas are experiencing 12° as we speak. Anyway, enjoy your day everyone and smoke a favorite or two if you get the chance....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's "Hump Day". I see that the NY Rangers lost to the NY Islanders 2 - 4 last night, always a tough game against the guys from Long Island. Today is Pearl Harbor Day, please take a moment to remember the 2403 US citizens that were killed in the surprise Japanese attack the morning of December 7th, 1941:

Have a great day everyone and remember to be safe out there....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We all had a great time last night at Schlesinger's as they hosted their annual Christmas Party. The place was jammed packed, food was great as always, drinks were flowing and top shelf cigars were being smoked. The first 40 guests in the door picked numbers for raffle items (great gifts for sure) which went very quick as the lounge was at it's capacity. Now onto the important stuff, tomorrow is the Army vs. Navy football game, Go Army / Beat Navy! Enjoy everyone and remember to always be safe out there....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. Congrats to Army for breaking the 14 year streak and finally beating Navy. On the other hand, the Eagles lost to the Redskins and Beth's Jets came back at the end to win. The NY Rangers beat the NJ Devils 5 - 0 giving them 2 shutout games in a row. Enjoy your week everyone and smoke a favorite or two if you get the chance...... :-)
