Got together with the local MINI club for some pints at a British pub (Speckled Hen on tap!). A great time was had by all, and here's a quick compiled pic for oyur viewing enjoyment...


Hope all is well!

Congrats to Di and her new nook lamp...


And to those who think being involved in the sports industry is laced with frills, here's the view we have of the action as we are working on a new system for the NHL:


You know it can't be too glamorous when you're at eye-level with the flag, banners and roof support structures...

And weather... we had out first freeze of the season last night (at the end of January?) where our lows reached 32. To our family & friends living up north, please do not be concerned as we will be back in shorts by the weekend.

Peace out!

Welcome to 2007!

Then we headed down to Boynton Beach for the Pellman Christmas gathering...


Then on Jan 3 we picked up our new addition to the fam... a MINI!


And with the MINI we've been weekend exploring, where the first weekend we headed the scenic ride up the First Coast Highway to Amelia Island. The following weekend we headed down to St. Augustine to visit the St. Augustine Lighthouse...


And 219 steps up...


We all reached the top!


We'll post more pics as we journey on other weekend excursions!

The Holidays were busy, as we are just now catching our breaths.

Congrats to the Rutgers Football Team for a great year and our fist bowl victory in the Texas Bowl! The 11-2 Knights graduate 6 seniors, thus the future is bright!

I'll be posting pics from the Holidays soon, along with pics of our new MINI.

RU Info, Halloween, Misc. Stuff

Happy November!
First some select pics from Halloween...


She knows no fear!


Last weekend, we took a trip out to a farm that creates an annual corn maze...


along with a hay ride to feed the cows...


and a farm style cow train ride around the fields...


RU Promo: no this isn't RU students camping out for Springsteen tickets. Can you believe camping out for football tickets? Yes, it's a big one this Thursday (Nov 9) againtst #3 Louisville!


Many thoughts come to mind...
1. Another proud Arkansas football moment.
2. What happens when Jay has had too much Captain.
3. Joe Paterno after his leg was broken.

It Keeps Rolling On

Another impressive showing by the Kniggets, as they down Pitt in Pittsburgh 20-10 and move up in the polls to #16 in the country. Our speedy sophomore Ray Rice runs for 255 yards (4th time this season he has rushed for over 200 yards in a game). Next game is home against UConn on Sunday night @ 8pm on ESPN.

Rutgers is now ranked ahead of schools such as Penn State, Wisconsin, FSU, Miami, Boston College, Virginia Tech & Georgia... RU Rah Rah!
