Roni Season Ends and Halloween

Checkout the Roni soccer team I coached this past fall. We ended our season with a 5-3 record and placed third in the league. I look forward to taking these lads down to the Dome this winter to play in the U10 division. Below is a picture of my kids, friends, nieces and nephews who came to our house to trick or treat this past Saturday.

Lycoming Homecoming Game

My son, Cam, and I went to the Lycoming vs. Albright football game on Saturday. The Warriors were hammered by Albright. Albright had quite an impressive quarterback. He threw for over 300 yards.

Notice my two neighbor friends who go to Lycoming. They dressed up for a sociology course they are taking at Lycoming. The experiment was human interaction with others who may look different. They videotaped interactions that happened at WalMart on a Sunday evening. Impressive wardrobe don't you think?

Pumpkin Patch

We went to get pumpkins today. Check out Mail's Steelers shirt.

Polamalu Out 3 to 6 Weeks

He is out 3 to 6 weeks but avoids surgery which is a good thing. Looking forward to his return. Polamalu was fantastic during the first quarter during the season opener.

League Champs...Tater's Gang

Millionaires Win! Payback #1

Congrats to the Millionaires for playing spoiler at Central Mountain on Friday night for their new stadium opener. WAHS was able to pull off a 28-14 victory. This a great victory being that CM smacked us at home last year. This Friday is WAHS take on Stroudsburg at home...this would be payback #2 as we fell to them last season. Check out this catch from former Governor, T. Burk. Great game guys! Looking forward to cheering you on Friday night at Millionaire Stadium.

My friend Shataya is a huge Steelers fan like me. She said that Big Ben is the man.

Opening Day - Thursday, September 10th

School started today for students! What a great day at Curtin! It was great seeing everyone back at AGC. I am looking forward to another great year. The Steelers open the regular season on Sept. 10th against the Tennessee Titans. The Steel Curtain, not to be confused with Curtin, will be going for their seventh Super Bowl victory this year. Yep! Seven! We enjoy watching Steelers games in our house on Sundays. Have a great year everyone!

One Big Dude!

Thanks to Mr. Fausnaught, my two sons were able to meet PSU center Stefan Wisniewski today. It was a pretty cool experience to see how big he really is next to the boys.

WAHS Alumni Soccer Game

Principal Poole and I played in the annual WAHS Alumni Soccer Game Saturday evening. Mr. Poole coached the boys team for three seasons and I played for the Millionaires 85-88. I also was the assistant boys coach for four seasons, '93-'96. Mr. Poole had a goal in the game. Best of luck to the team this season. Curtin alumni represent well on the squad.

World Series

Spending the afternoon at Little League with my family. Enjoying the afternoon game between State Island and Warner Robbins. It is packed with people.

Little League = Back to School

Little League World Series starts in a couple of days. In fact, the Grand Slam Parade is going on downtown tomorrow evening. My son's are riding on a float with their league. We enjoy going to games but it also means it is time to go back to school. I look forward to seeing students at our new student orientation on August 26th in the auditorium.

Fantasy Football...Bring It On Like Donkey Kong

Here we go...Mr. Zangara just sent out the invites to the 2009 Fantasy Football season. I am looking forward to seeking some revenge on our league participants. Hopefully, I do well at the draft.

Tater's Baseball

It was a "Dog Day of Summer" this past Saturday as our Tater's Gang baseball team competed in the Franzi Tournament in Jersey Shore. Both of my sons are on the team. They played a double header on Saturday. What a great day it was watching baseball and being around great kids and families for the day. We won our first game of the day 10-5 over Roan's. My former student and friend, Noah, had two homers in the game. One was a grand slam. What a performance! The team fell to Loyalsock 6-5 in the third place game. Tater's finished 4th in a field of 10 teams. I would like to thank Coach Esposito, Coach Luke, Coach Niklaus, and Coach Tate for teaching our boys about baseball, but more importantly about life! Awesome job guys. Have a great school year and see you back on the diamond.

Little League Tailgate

A Tater's Tailgate occurred Friday evening in Jersey Shore as my two son's, Connor and Cameron, had a game against Newberry. Our team came up short but had fun tailgating with other families before the game. We had subs and soda. Our next game is tomorrow afternoon at 1PM.

Cash for Clunkers

Mr. Fausnaught cashed in his clunker for a brand new 2009 Honda Civic. I like the fact that he is thinking "green" to enhance our quality of life on our wonderful planet. Did you know that his new car gets 39 miles per gallon. He will need that fuel economy with all those trips up the high school hill.

Congrats to West End All - Stars

Congratulations to the West End All-Stars...off to the World Series. Speaking of World Series, Grand Slam Parade next Thursday. Best of luck to our local baseball players.

PNC Park

Just wanted to include a picture of PNC Park. I know that the Pirates are not doing so well but felt they needed to feel the love of our visit to Pittsburgh too.

The Pittsburgh Zoo

This past weekend my family and I traveled to Pittsburgh to see the Pirates play and visit the Pittsburgh Zoo. The Pirates lost 6-4 to the Cardinals. It was a great night for a ball game. As many know, I am a huge Pittsburgh fan...Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates. Two out of three isn't bad. The zoo was fantastic. They have a great shark and polar bear display. If you ever get the chance to go to the P-Burgh Zoo, be sure to go.

Hole In One - United Way Golf Outing

Check it out! Mr. Poole testing out the hole-in-one prize on hole number 14 at the White Deer Golf Course. Anyone who made a hole-in-one on this hole would walk away with the keys. Needless to say...Mr. Poole, Mr. Fausnaught, Mr. Zangara, and myself did not win the car but we had a great day of golf for a good cause. It was a true team effort! Looking forward to the next outing.

Family

My family and I went to Bear Creek Lake in the Pocono's to spend the weekend with my father's side of the family. This is a picture of all the great grand-children on the boat. We had a great time at the lake house and enjoy going there every first weekend of August. I slept in the tent and it rained pretty hard. My son, Connor and I, stayed fairly dry.
