Calendar Wisdom Includes Comedy & Coffee☕ 👀

Welcome to the first day of winter❄️

The snow must go on☃️
You can see it on some of my recent Instagram photos📷 I am up to 666⁉️ But, just 6 blog posts this year🆗 #KeepSmiling Keep #snowing!

I am Ubiquitous🎤

Have voice. Will travel (via the www).

Thanks for the interview, Castanet!

This follows up a nice shout-out from 26shirts in the summer👕

Christmas😊🎅

Stick Up...for Hockey📣 And People!

Three of my last four Instagram posts have had a hockey flavor⌣ 

#TisTheSeason The NHL season starts with two games tonight - including the expansion Seattle Kraken in Las Vegas. A V for VancouVer who finish their 6-game road trip to start the season in Seattle on October 23rd. One week from today the Canucks will be in Buffalo in a matchup of my two favorite teams! 

I am back for my fourteenth season as the imaging voice for the Sabres on the MSG-TV broadcasts📺

Fights, camera & action🎬

Three It Up 4 These Two👩‍❤️‍👨

Three's a crowd on yesterday's Instagram post but 3 nice couple (snacks count!) photos before that😊

Are you enjoying the Tokyo Olympics? 

I recently narrated a longer piece involving Japanese history. It had a lot of pronunciations that were challenging but I came through with a gold medal performance🏆

Have an awesome August🌞

Tee It Up⛳ or Tree It Up🌲

My latest posts on Instagram all seem to have Trees to some degree in the background👀

If you want to be picky, those are plants above the birthday boy, Justin, on lucky June 13th🏀

How do you like my new backyard hoop? 

Lots of trees! 

A famous basketball Tree was probably very excited to see the team that drafted him 14th overall in 1977 win game 7 against the '76'ers last night. Tree Rollins spent a decade with the Atlanta Hawks and was known for his defense and shot-blocking⛔

I see Tree turned 66 last week so belated Happy Birthday!

I was blessed yesterday to celebrate my 30th Father's Day💗💞

Thanks to this tribe for a nice evening out!

Earth Day, Birthday & Barrett🏀

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Birthday! Last month👀 

Happy with my Barrett hoodie for my birthday! Our grandson of the same name turns 8 months old tomorrow💓 Can you believe the New York Knicks are actually good this season? They go for 9 straight wins against the Raptors on Saturday🏀🏀🏀

You Won't Laugh At These Sabres Greats🚫

I hope January brought you some laughs😂

And coffee☕ The cookies are below at my mother-in-law's🍪

Ha, Ha Ha😆 DON'T laugh at these Sabres greats🚫 

Hašek, Dominik (NHL Hall of Famer turned 56 last Friday. My age✓)

Hawerchuk, Dale (Sadly, he passed away last year at the age of 57 after a battle with stomach cancer. Also a Hall of Famer).

Hajt, Bill (played 854 games for the Sabres).

Turn Out The Lights on 2020 and Light Up The World in 2021🎇✨

For the 6th month in a row, I'm blogging to finish it off AND 2020!

Some classic rock thoughts from me on my Twitter accounts as we count down the final hours of 2020🎸🎶
Happy birthday to Jeff Lynne of ELO, who hit 73 yesterday🎂
***
Michael Jackson's "Beat It" would also be an appropriate song to end the year with☑️

Do you remember the late Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne both being in the Traveling Wilburys? That was between 1988 - 1991. Three other superstars in the group: 

Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison. 

#TimeFlies but great music stands the test of time⏳

I'm looking forward to being a part of the Sabres action next month for my 13th season of voiceover

Great team behind the scenes! No average Joes

Bring on the ice - and snow... #HockeyWeather

Turn On The Lights & Keep Laughing😂

For the ⓹th month is a row, I'm blogging to finish it off. 

Like you, I can't wait for number 25 on the calendar next month🎄🎅

I just had my be$t voiceover month since June so I'm happy with those number$ and see that December will be even better!

More numbers...

I see no NFL team scored tennis numbers of 15, 30 or 40🎾 yesterday.

You've probably got more lights at your place than we do👀

How it started.

How it's going.

Oh deer. 

Turn Me L🎃👻se for Halloween + Don Luce Memories With the Buffalo Sabres👀

Are Sports Helping You Maintain Your Sanity?

For the third month is a row, I'm blogging to finish it off💚

The green team did not win the Stanley Cup. An amazing effort after a slow start in the bubble for the Dallas Stars but Tampa Bay won in six on Monday to close out a crazy season! *As I predicted😊

It appears the grass IS always greener on my Instagram👀

Drop by for a visit!

The NBA Finals begin tonight with another Florida team, the Miami Heat, taking on their former leader, LeBron James. Take the LA Lakers in 5 games to win that "bubble" championship🏀

How about those Buffalo Bills? 3-0 here on the 30th🏈
