Since he's an awesome yet humble guy, I thought I'd cut him a break on his birthday and not go on in a way that might embarrass him. Happy birthday, Daddy! Instead, my plan has been for quite some time to do a post about Titanic, and I've been collecting links for a while. http://www.thorg.com/2012/04/titanic.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (alice)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331588487963775535.post-2269815472769389201Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:22:00 +00002012-04-13T09:22:37.052-04:00food porn These photos are from Easter Sunday.

I'm still here, though I've missed a few opportunities for posts lately: This past Monday was Dyngus Day, which is awesome in its own right (especially if you are, like me, from western New York).

It's been a hell of a week. Last Sunday, my brother- and sister-in-law drove down from Ohio to help us move my mother-in-law from her apartment into a nursing home. But the mother-in-law had other ideas. On Monday evening, she got us assembled, she said her goodbyes, and then, on Tuesday, she promptly died.

It was definitely a bad moment for him. But a greater indictment is due his team. Let us recall Scott Norwood in 1991, hooking that field goal attempt wide right, resulting in the Buffalo Bills's loss in Superbowl XXV to the New York Giants.
