New Photos!

Check out some photos from behind the scenes of Brian’s birthday bash and some of hockey legend Mark Messier. And if you want to see me wearing a sombrero (and why wouldn’t you?) go to the Cinco de Mayo post.

So, why are these photos only being published on the Nuevo de Mayo? Blame A.J. He had the audacity to take a day off from his internship to win some silly award, something called Hofstra University’s “Broadcast Journalist of the Year.” Whatever.

I think I just accidentally ventured into netherland! 8O

Never really thought about 44 being a landmark kind of birthday, but you guys went all out for Brian. What is his wife’s name? There was a Jill asking about the AtSS video of the socker kids on the other thread, because they didn’t get to see it.

 
Comment by Mike Malone

AJ put winning an award over his duties to the Aly blog? Bad intern, bad! You loose one days pay for such bad judgement!
Alisyn and her blog always take precident! All hail Queen Alisyn!

Thanks for the new pics!

Are we going to see some of Mama Rocco’s recipes posted? MMM, mmmm…..

Those meatballs this morning looked almost as tasty as Alisyn looked beautiful, almost! :)

Alisyn,

Guys like me just don’t call girls like Lilian Garcia. Where would I find that number????

Comment by Beth

Brian is so fun. What a lovely family. I was very impressed he could name all those players (first and last names). Hope he’s had enough “monkey” now. :)

 
Comment by Mike Malone

Marshall,

Brian’s wife’s name is Dawn. She has to be one of the most patient and long suffering women on the planet. She must truly love Brian, because there is no way he is rich enough to put up with being married to him.

What, no pics of Maureen from her birthday? We want to see the pretty makeup artist! ;)

Mike, I guess this makes two of us that have become bored with DG.

Comment by A.M.

Usted es muy hermoso en sombreros. ¡Muchas gracias por compartir!!

English translation: WOW!

 
Comment by Sheila

Yeah, I agree…WOW. I didn’t even get a party like that when I turned 40. Brian did really good naming the kids by first and last names, that totally surprised me, too.
So…happy birthday Brian…belated now I suppose.

 
Comment by Kathy in Tx

Comment by Lori

Yes football and beer… Steelers in particular.. LOl Do you have a favorite team? That will be a good game… where are they playing? or is it an old one?

 
Comment by chas

A Steelers fan. Where do you live, if I may ask?

chas

 
Comment by Lori

Grew up in Pittsburgh, moved to NY, then Tx for 10 years now Michigan.. ;-)

 
Comment by Lori

Wow you are a Steelers fan too?????? Welll it all makes perfect sense than..LOL

 
Comment by chas

It is a game from last season. NFL Network replays the best 5 games of each week of the last season.

And I am a Packers fan and have been since the early 60’s.

 
Comment by chas

Steelers are my favorite AFC team.

Hey you should be a Lions fan then…lol

 
Comment by Lori

Ah I thought so, but they have those pre pre pre season games some times like in Japan or something..LOl Thought maybe I was missing something..

I got cited thought you were a Steelers fan..LOl But I like the Pack too..

I have followed my Steelers since the beginning.. even throught the dark Mark Malone years..LOL

 
Comment by Lori

MMMMMMM not so much on the Lions..LOl I was at the Dallas Steeler game a couple of years ago, and there were more Steeler fans there than cowboy fans..LOL was great..LOL

 
Comment by Virginia

Ah! I feel soooooooo smart. Hello again :)
Lori…I got a house keeper for a present too. I railed a bit, silly person that I am, thinking I had to clean for the cleaning lady, however it was a most excellent experience. I don’t have…well, that’s not true! The baby girl comes to take care of grandpa, and now me for a minute (I hope!), and she cleans and does laundry, so I still have a “cleaning lady”. And it is wonderful! I also love to cook, altho the hubby is a wonderful cook also, so the cooking is fun and we can do parties well, as we work in concert beautifully. I am willing to let him be in charge for those events! That’s prob why? I am sure that is so. :)

 
Comment by chas

I feel your pain. The Packers had a couple of bad decades, not seasons, decades…lol

 
Comment by chas

Glad you found us Ms. Virginia.

 
Comment by Lori

OH its a great pressie Virginia! Its one of my only indulgences .. hahahahah welllll almostg my only..LOL

Yes the pack has had there troubles..LOl I thought they were in there last season though had 5 bucks on the game..LOl

 
Comment by Virginia

Jimmy…the hubby does most of the store shopping and has for years really. He likes to go, does a great job, and is stronger than I, so the many bags that used to be anyway, were much easier for him than me. I must have tricked him in to that? I don’t know…I think it was sleeping babies all the time that caused that most amazing thing to happen. Did you read my post regarding stores and moving product and my sis before you scooted to boot? :)

 
Comment by chas

Say Ms. Virginia, have you taken your computer lesson yet?

 
Comment by Lori

Chas, how did you guys do in the draft? Get anyone exciting?

 
Comment by chas

We picked up 2 excellent QB and a good CB.

But to be honest we didn’t need very much, except for Favre to come back of course…lol

 
Comment by Lori

Oh yes thats right I remember now.

We on the other hand have some gaps. I am still worried about our O-line. We did get a couple of weapons to help Ben along though, so that should help Ward out and hopefully won’t take such a beating this year.

 
Comment by Virginia

My sports experience does not go past the great Buckeyes and college ball….which is sprinkled with much conversation relating to WHAT HAPPENED AND WHO IS THAT AND ARE WE WINNING? I am not sure that the hubby wishes I would shut up and bring the chips and other good things to eat! :)

 
Comment by Lori

Well friends, I need to start my day.

One of my daughters got a lab puppy to help her with the transition to Texas (after us swearing NO MORE DOGS!) and of course she is still in bed and “grand-ma” is babysitting puppy.. LOl SOOOOOOO I’m off

Enjoy your day everyone, and don’t blow up anymore servers! LOL

PS Chas, I read the posts from last night, and yes I do disagree with you..LOL Surprise.. !

xoxoxoo ttfn

 
Comment by chas

Yea, Ben looked like Favre did 2 years ago, running for his life every other play…lol

That is why I was so sure he’d come back he was one of the least sacked QBs last year.

Oh well, it had to happen one day. I just hope he doesn’t regret the choice.

I think the Steelers will do pretty well this year, though if I recall they have a pretty tough schedule.

 
Comment by Virginia

No Chas…not yet as I was busy sending you an e-mail and worrying about the Ali-blog and whether I was stuck in the land of no conversation!!!! I am on my third cupa now, and will tend to this. Hubby won’t be back until around one thirty or later…singing multiple times for several masses and praying frantically that I am HEALED and his moment of cooking and doing strange other household things is over soon!!!! and he can get back to a normal? life!! Whatever that is… :)

 
Comment by chas

Have a great day Ma’am. And I disagree that you should disagree…lol

 
Comment by Lori

THE WORST schedule! We play everyyyy playooffff team..LOl don’t get me started on that, pisses mer off more than a republican..;-P .LOl we could go 0 and 7

 
Comment by Virginia

Bye Lori. I await your list of wonderful delightful Mother’s day things and events! lol

 
Comment by chas

OK, Ms. Virginia, I am just wondering how good the directions are and the ease of following.

chas

 
Comment by chas

Could be worse, you could end up 4-12 like the Pack did 2 years ago…lol

 
Comment by Virginia

Chas…between the crashed blog and the change to this spot, Elaine will never find us I fear. Hopefully she goes in anyway, and looks. lol

 
Comment by chas

I have faith in Ms. elaine’s tracking abilities. ;)

 
Comment by chas

Over 660 responses on the MOthers Day blog. Won’t Ms. Alisyn be surprised? :)

chas

 
Comment by Virginia

Chas….I am sure they are very well presented and I will be able to do this if I read and follow the directions.. :) The reading and following being the key to all of this, of course! :) You will be the first to know I assure you :)

 
Comment by chas

Wolfson is on FOX Sunday trying to defend Clinton staying in the race even being 20 million in the red…lol

 
Comment by Virginia

Chas…my sis is alive and well…I pause to talk for a minute. :)
Her lap top is giving her fits…it won’t turn off. oops! :) We are so dumb in the puter area…lol

 
Comment by Virginia

I am instructing her to push the wonderful F5…nothing is happening….

 
Comment by chas

Try using the task manager. Hit ALT CTRL DEL at the same time a couple of times.

That should being up the manager and you can shut down from there.

 
Comment by Virginia

Ok…I pause..

 
Comment by chas

OK, I will fetch my Newspaper.

 
Comment by Virginia

She is doing that….is it still not turning off…in that it comes right back up..hitting escape…she is afraid of losing info as this is work puter as well…ah! progress…task manger is up..now what do you do with the task manager screen?

 
Comment by Virginia

another error report behind the manager screen…stopped expectantly? She will call her friend..Brian can help her..he’ll come and that is better lol

 
Comment by chas

The menu bar at the top will have a shut down option. It differs with the window version so you might have to look around for it.

 
Comment by Salvatore

Good Morning Alisyn and Friends,
Hey Chas and Lori, I also like the Steelers.
Sal

 
Comment by Virginia

Her screen is all white now and there is nothing at all!!! lol She is going to call Brian….lol

 
Comment by Virginia

Good morning Sal…you found us! lol

 
Comment by chas

Good morning Sal.

You should tell Ms. Lori that next time you see her.

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

Comment by Virginia

Jimmy!! We are here…yes we are…lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

Hi Virginia got your paper?
we are having very windy weather here….most of the tornado warnnings have been canceled for now….all moved east

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

everyone must be getting ready for church or to call or see their mothers

 
Comment by chas

Welcome back Mr. Adams.

How’d the computer thing work out Ms. Virginia?

 
Comment by Virginia

JIMMY….we are here. I am typing reading an talking to my sis…lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

hey Chas…thought Virginia and I were alone in here

 
Comment by chas

I’m scanning the Sunday paper, so I might be a bit slow to respond.

 
Comment by Virginia

White screen and calling Brian right in a minute….lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

that’s fine…..my wife usually has most of the paper until around this time

 
Comment by chas

I have the Washington Post so most of the news isn’t of much interest.

 
Comment by Virginia

some F5 going on~~~~sis is gone and is not blown away to the land of Oz this time anyway! :)

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

we just get a couple of locals and sometimes the Atlanta paper

 
Comment by Virginia

We don’t get the paper anymore. Hubby reads it on line and maybe picks up the Sunday paper,,,,or not. We have but one, so he just doesn’t bother anymore. I thought he would miss it big time as he was one of those that covered it from front to back, but, seems not. He prob looks at it at work, however, so he is getting his fix? We, of course, need to check to obitz to make sure we have survived the nite? :) Yep! lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

get most of my news on Fox and sometimes CNN…just to see how different they are…love tv news cause it’s always there when you want it

 
Comment by chas
 
Comment by Virginia

Geezzz…my comment is not there or I don’t see it. The lap top is in the land of white screen Chas, so sis is calling her friend Brian to come and look at it…her puter guru person. It will be fine. She did all that was instructed with no luck…? Oh welllllll…He can fix whatever is wrong I am sure. At least she didn’t throw it against the wall!!!
FOX allert…MI is getting hit very hard… :( Some deaths..really bad. I is raining in Ohio, same storm, of course. We get them all in varying stages of fury. Jimmmmmmyyyyyy! Do you have a safe place to go??????? lol

 
Comment by chas

I think we get the paper for the TV Guide…lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

that’s a very compelling reason

 
Comment by Virginia

~~~~~oooooo~~~~~thunder and lightening is upon us! Quiet all of a sudden…..(((())))…must look out the window and see what is going on…is the sky green and are the clouds going in the wrong direction??? I’ll be right back!!!!! lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

your not in Kansas Dorothy…LOL

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

finally getting a little sun here…but still windy….a new line of storms due later today

 
Comment by chas

I just heard that two died down your way Mr. Adams

 
Comment by chas

Cloudy here, grass not drying out so no cutting today either.

 
Comment by Virginia

It’s all ok…just the normal and usual so far. I really should order one of the other newspapers for him. He prob would like the Wall Street and other good ones out there, and they will send it right to your mailbox. Hadn’t thought about that really….more pondering must be to decide this very important question. Or, I could just not worry about it and be really happy to not deal with allllllll that paper generated by the paper. I am still picking up rubber bands from the days of delivering said papers every very early mornings!!!!!!!! And the carrier bags hang lonely in the garage, neglected and dusty by now. :( Rather sad I think really…but, I do not miss that drive on a rainy cold morning or Sunday when the pap was HuGE, so help was indeed necessary. This part of the culture has also changed. Now one must be an adult to have a route, so the nice kids that delivered and earned scholarship money are a thing of the past. They also were alert and ready to report anything unusual, much like the mailman used to be anyway, and prob still is in some small communities. We have a new person all the time now, and I miss that too…knowing your mail man was nice, and he provided good conversation and stamps from time to tims. Yes, a bit of nostalgic musing going on here!!!!! :)

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

I saw that on Fox….it was south of Macon,GA….about 65 miles north of here

 
Comment by Virginia

Hubby madly mowed and whacked with the storm in mind, yesterday…so, that is done…one more time…and to be done again as summer is upon us! lol

 
Comment by Virginia

JIMMMMMMYYYYYY! You do have a safe place to go to????? Yes? lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

Virginia…I miss those days too…my wife says I live too much in the past…but some things were better (nicer) in those kinder/gentler days…or at least we thought so…..but I will never give up my computer or cell phone!

 
Comment by Virginia

More people are dying of cancer…older and better technology,so no surprise, and he is speaking to that…I love the fox doc. He is sooooooooo cool. Wish I could find one like him here!!! Do they exist anymore?? Out there some where I am sure. lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

oh yes…we have a plan on where to go in the house….the hall by the bathroom….pipes in the ground…no windows or pictures, etc….and a small area protected by wall construction, etc…..I just tell my wife that when the siren blows….put on your clothes and shoes….you may want them if the house goes!…we are in a sections that gets fallout from all the Fla hurricanes , and in the off season…we get tornados….but it still a great area…except for the summer heat and humidity

 
Comment by chas

I try notto think too much about the past. Except for the decline in physical prowes these are some of the best years of my life.

 
Comment by Virginia

Oh my gosh…it is really rolling and crashing and slamming rain here. Grandpa may never get up!! so dark and dreary.
Son just called to say Hap Moth D. He got me a card, but, has to go to work, so he gave the card to Dawn, to give to Sara, to give to…oh well!!! Too funny. Someone is bringing it over to me. :) What a hoot!!! I love these kids…they are sooooooooo funny and inventive. lol

 
Comment by chas

Mr. Adams, did I tell you I lived n ear Savannah for 7 years back in the 80’s?

Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

I agree Chas…and I remember hearing my father talk about things that happened 20 or 30 years ago….and I thought that was sad….especially to have been around that long….now I catch myself doing the same thing
but I would not trade the modern marvels…medicine, etc….I remember getting the first polio vacines in the first grade….seems like another century now

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

Savannah!…boy you know about southern heat and humidity first hand!

 
Comment by Virginia

Whew….that took a minute. If I disappear it is because I have lost power and not because I have “fallen out of the wheely chair and can’t get up”….lost power could really happen, altho, doesn’t often.
Jimmy….those memories make us a whole person, and add many nice lines to an already interesting face…yeppers! That is a truth that the twenty year old does not know yet…as well as not knowing who not to vote for and why, of course…. :) lol

 
Comment by Jimmy Adams in Pelham, GA

Virginia…exactly….experience is the best teacher (except for when I was teaching, of course…LOL)

 
Comment by chas

You bet sir. I did roofing there for a couple of years.

I lived just west of the city off HYGW 204. Basically swamp land that went underwater in the spring about every other year.

 
Comment by Virginia

Is it just usen here right now? Elaine prob can’t find us, and Sheila is enjoying breakfast in bed I am absolutely sure!!!!! Where is Will? If it is raining like this he is not in his hammock with the fire pit..
