Famous Daves Self Tanning

This weekend we went to a birthday party in Bradford, PA for my niece and nephew Mackenzie and Jared (By mentioning them in the opening line, I am hopefully once again their favorite Uncle. You know how that goes. Plus they don't even know what blogs are yet!).

Anyway, to the point:

My sister in law had a really good tan, not overly dark, but noticeable. She lives in Hornell, so we knew she wasn't out in the sun any more than us in Buffalo. When we asked her if she tanned she told us about her success with Famous Daves Self Tanning. She had heard about it from a friend, and got some on E-BAY. It looked great, and best yet, didn't have any smell/aroma that many spray on, or tanning creams have. My wife checked it out on the web, and between the website and our sister in law's recommendation, ordered some. Here's the site

For those who want a tan, but aren't fond of tanning booth's, this might be the remedy!

Let me know how it goes in your quest to get rid of Northeastern pasty white winter skin!

Last Word On The Sabres...I hope!

For most of the season I've been pretty up front regarding my feeling for the Sabres organizational problems. Numerous times I've said:

Don't blame Darcy Regier. He's taken far too many bullets for Thomas Golisano and don't be surprised if he's had enough and doesn't sign a new contract after 2008--09.

And don't blame Larry Quinn. No one one wants to win more than he does. He hates to lose, and is known for having a big ego. I think that is great! He's the type of guy we should be happy to have fighting for progress downtown. He would sign every player if he could.

DO BLAME IT ON THOMAS GOLISANO.

In short, he is trying to run the Sabres like Paychex. His not being available to comment on, or handle negative situations, his letting Larry and Darcy take the bullets, his general blase attitude toward the past 18 months speaks volumes about his goals. It's been a 180 degree turnaround over the past two years.

Want more proof? Check out this recent article from The Hockey News. They ranked NHL GM's from top to bottom. Here's what they said about Darcy.

15. Darcy Regier, Buffalo

How can we rate Regier so highly when he has: a) failed to come to terms with his team’s three best players?; b) let two of them get away and got nothing in return?; c) traded his best defenseman while his team was fighting for a playoff spot?; d) dismantled one of the best scouting staffs in the league?; and, e) has presided over the Sabres as they’ve gone from Stanley Cup contender to barely middle-of-the-pack? Because he’s taking the bullet for an owner (Thomas Golisano) who refuses to spend money despite the fact the Sabres have essentially sold out every game the past two seasons and have gone on long, lucrative playoff runs. Regier is a good hockey man and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him leave at the first opportunity. CAREER 390-299-120 (.556) CUPS 0 PLAYOFFS 10-6 series record

In the end of regular season HOCKEY NEWS Power Rankings, the Sabres are at #20, and they write:

This is Derek Roy’s team and he deserves to be named captain. Enough of this minor peewee crap of rotating captains. Hard to say what we can expect from the Sabres moving forward. The one thing we do know is they won’t pay to keep their stars. That is not a good thing and certainly isn’t fair to coach Lindy Ruff and GM Darcy Regier.

Is there anyone we can get to buy this team from Tommy Boy?

Hilarious Airline Delay Video

I've been traveling a lot lately, and maybe you've heard some of my "running through the airport in Detroit/Phoenix"or "lost baggage (or as Delta calls it, delayed baggage) stories. After surfing the web for airline gossip sites (yes I have too much free time), I came across this very funny video account of a 7 hour Tarmac delay. And guess what, it's a Delta flight bound for JFK! I've heard too many horror stories about that combination of airline and airport lately!
