Ice Storm 2008
Friday night we got hit with the first real storm of the winter weather season – our area of NY got nailed with freezing rain and an ice storm that left many trees down and many people without power. we are fortunate to still have power, especially given the large number of old trees in our neighborhood. on our property, three pine trees lost fairly large sections from the top, and one silver maple at the back of our property is pretty much gone. no damage to anything other than the trees though, so we are thankful. below you can see some pictures from our yard, taken this afternoon. click on them to see a larger version in my Picasa albums.

I have to eat my words
I talked about the best game all year when the Giants met the Patriots in the final game of the regular season.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-MEN!
Best Game of the Year?
Clearly, it was last night’s NFL match up between the NY Giants and NE Patriots. It was back and forth and (in my biased Giant’s fan opinion) if Eli doesn’t have a couple of key hiccups, the Giants end the 16-0 bid.
At any rate, the Patriots proved that if any team is going to beat them, they have to do it in the second half of the game. They are clearly the best coached team as they will counter whatever a team might surprise them with in the first half by beating them in the second half. If they run into a team that can overcome the Patriots mid game adjustments (cough Jacksonville cough), that team will end the Super Bowl dreams of New England.
Back to the Giants… they played a great game and have a lot to take into the playoffs. I like the Giants to beat Tampa Bay because Eli is clearly a better QB in nice weather, and the defense will be able to beat up on Jeff Garcia.
Go Giants!
