Happy Birthday Jamie.  Hope you have many more.

Bill

Good start for your Yanks Sam.  I will be watching my beloved Sox open tomorrow.  Should be a tough race in the AL east again this year.

Happy Birthday Lil Moe.

Like Jimv said, I wish we were closer and could make it to Tomeees.  I think about you guys (and gals) on Sundays when I know you are at the stadium having your tailgate party.  Have a great time!!!

Bill

We just arrived back home after a most wonderful weekend.  I said before that the reason I was going to drive 311 miles was to meet up with the folks of this board.  If I saw a little football than that was just a bonus.

I will say that I had it dead on!!!!   I saw a little football, but the BBQ was the main course.  It was a pleasure to meet each and every one of you.  It surpassed my best expectations.  We had a great time. Thanks to you all!!!   

I also agree with Vette.  Lets hope the Giants see what a great place they have to hold training camp.

Bill

My lovely wife has asked me to ask you folks what is the attire at the Barnsider?  Shorts or casual type pants etc.

We also plan to go to the Sunday brunch as well.

Thanks

Bill

Thanks Vette;

But that's what I said last year when our plans fell apart due to my best friend from college and his wife showing up to stay with us on last years BBQ weekend.  I still think we'll make it down.  Just might have to take it easy.

Bill

There has been a small roadblock thrown up as to if my wife and I will be attending.  I just returned home today from a two day stay at the local hospital with a collapsed lung.  If you have never had one of those, I will tell you it's not a lot of fun.  I have a followup visit with the surgeon on Aug 5.  At this point in time I can't say for sure if I will be feeling well enough to make the trip but we are still hoping that things will be good enough to come.  I will keep our names on the list and if things go well we will see you Friday the 6th at the dinner.

Vette;

Dinner on Friday night sounds like a great plan.  My wife and I hope to get to the Best Western across from the campus sometime between 3 - 5 pm.  Coming down from Maine so timing is not precise.  We are really looking forward to this.  It will be the first time I will get to meet the BBH group.   

Bill

G-Girl... I will throw a bag of charcoal in the truck too.  Tucker... a couple of old farts are staying at the Best Western.  I stayed there a few years ago and it was good.  You can walk to the practice fields.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!!!!

Bill

My wife and I will bring a case of Poland Spring water and a case of Czechvar beer.

As can be seen from my # of posts, I do not post often but I have been here from the beginning and was on BBWC for years prior to Rich starting this site.  As Bama says, BBWC seemed to go downhill greatly at one point and one of the things that happened there was every day there seemed to be tons of new posters many of which were young and not very interesting or knowledgable.  One of the things I enjoy about coming here is the small number of regular posters whom I enjoy reading.  When I speak football with my friends at work or socialize with I will refer to information I get from this board and refer to the posters here as "guys I know on this board" and even consider to be "friends".  There are many people here I respect a lot.  Rich, Lenn, Terry, Painter, Kmed, Bama, Tonka, Ceri, Troy, Drake, Weeze and all the other regulars I fail to mention off the top of my head are why I come here every day to get my Giants fix.  You guys that run this board have done a great job and I'm sure you will continue to do so.  It is entirely up to you to take this board in whatever direction you feel is best.  As long as my "friends" are coming here and providing me with information, respect and the joy I get from reading your opinions I will continue to be here.

Bill

I came from the BBWC board soon after Rich and the others started this board.  When this one was starting the BBWC had turned into a board that was way out of control.  It seemed to me that the "old timers" were being trashed by a whole lot of new posters.  I still go to the other board and it does seem to have settled down with a bunch of regular posters.  As you can see by my stats, I only post on rare occasions but I consider this board home and I am here reading every day.  For that I thank you all.
