Good morning all, the coffee is on and T.G.I.F. We had a good time last night at Schlesinger's with a packed house enjoying fine cigars and watching the beginning of the NCAA sweet sixteen. Another powerhouse (Syracuse) was knocked out last night by Butler and the other 3 games played finished as predicted. The Xavier vs. Kansas State game went to 2 overtime sessions with Kansas State the victor. Here's a look at the updated brackets going into tonight's games:

Good morning all and yes, I've got some of Mr. Jerry's best Killer Beans on. I'm getting ready to head to the train station in a bit with my nephew Gary and meet up with Chris McCann there. We're catching the 0950 from Beacon which gets us into NYC just after 1100(11am). We're headin' over to Nat Shermans for a Nat Sherman - Camacho cigar event which goes from 10am to 7pm. I know that Jesus (MOBIG) stated that he may meet us there later on and I hope to see a few other NY / NJ S/BOTL there as well. Anyway, I hope everyone has a super Saturday and enjoys it as well...... :-)

Good morning all and yes, I have another pot of Mr. Jerry's Electric Chair™ Espresso Killer Beans on. We had a good time yesterday down in NYC and it was good to see Barry (nyisles), Jesus (MOBIG) and Jeff (Shibumi) down at Nat Shermans. Lindsay, Mike and the rest of the Nat Sherman crew made us feel very welcome, thanks for everything. Today we have some more NCAA basketball, preseason MLB, NHL and of course, NASCAR. I'll be watching the race this afternoon which is being held at Martinsville, VA. I hope that Dale Jr. in the #88 Amp / National Guard Chevrolet has another good points day and finishes in the top 5 if not wins it. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys...... :-)

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. Well, it's raining cats and dogs here in the Hudson Valley and they have just issued a flood warning for the entire area. Some folks around here to include areas in New Jersey still haven't recovered from the last flooding. Sometimes you have to ask yourself what's worse, shoveling snow or pumping out water. Yesterday's NASCAR race in Martinsville, VA was rained out and rescheduled to today at 1200(noon) on FOX. At least the NCAA basketball games were on and here is the set up for the Final Four:

Good morning all and as always, the coffee is on. Well, we are four days away from Opening Day for the MLB and it's a home opener for the Yankees Sunday evening against the Red Sox. It should be another great season for the Bombers, I can hardly wait to watch. Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day" and enjoys a favorite or two or....... :-)

Good morning all and as always, the coffee is brewing. There's not much going on today, it's a normal work day at West Point. Today being Thursday, we'll be at Schlesinger's Cigar Bar / Hudson Valley Cigars this evening enjoying primo sticks and catching up on the world news. If your close by and have the time, stop in and join the fun. Either way, I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys it as well....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee has been on for a while now and T.G.I.F. We had a good time last night Schlesingers and it was good to see the Thursday night crew out as the weather is getting very nice. Most likely I'll be taking a ride up to Kingston tomorrow to visit the Uptown Cigar Company crew. It's always a relaxing time there as they make you feel at home from the time you get there until you have to leave. Anyway, I hope everyone has a relaxing "Happy Easter" weekend with family and friends enjoying your favorites through out it....... :-)

Good morning all and yes, the Killer Beans Electric Chair™ Espresso is kickin'. It definitely is a beautiful day up here in the Hudson Valley today and I'm sure that I'll be outside all day enjoying cigars and firing up the BBQ later on. This evening we have the Final Four kicking off at 1800(6pm) with Butler taking on Michigan State and then afterwards we have Duke taking on West Virginia. Both games will be on CBS and I'm sure that they will be non-stop till the last buzzer. Anyway, I hope everyone has a super Saturday and enjoys...... :-)

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on. Well, yesterday was a great weather day and it looks like another one is here today.

Congrats to Duke as well and now the scene is set for Monday evening for the National Championship match-up. Tonight we have the opening game for the 2010 MLB season. The 2009 World Series Champ (The New York Yankees) taking on the Boston Red Sox at 2000(8pm). Anyway, I hope everyone has a Happy Easter Sunday and enjoys it with family and friends...... :-)

Good Morning

Crazy game the other night but the good guys won :-)
I really wish they would move the April games to Afternoon games.The weather is always better and they seem to move a little faster.

Other than that lets hope for a good ball game.

Good morning all and yes, the coffee is on as always. It was good to see that the Bombers bounced back and won last night in Boston 6 - 4. Tonight is the rubber match of this 1st series of the season with Pettitte taking on Lackey with the first pitch getting thrown at 1910(7:10pm) at Fenway. Also last night, the lady Huskies from UConn won their 2nd straight National Championship with an unbelievable 78th win in a row, now that's a winning streak. Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy "Hump Day" and gets to enjoy a favorite or two or...... :-)
