*Waking up this morning with both the Bills and Sabres as winners in their last games. It feels like it's been a long time since we've been able to see that.
*Knowing that the guys I'm cheering for are both good players and good people. Whether it's Brian Moorman's PUNT foundation or Donte Whitner's work with the United Way, the Bills are working to endear themselves to this city that loves them so much. With the Sabres, their charity work is one of the reasons I love them beyond all reasonable limits. Between Ryan Miller's Steadfast Foundation, Goose's work with Camp Good Days, Thomas Vanek's new partnership with the Boys and Girls Club, and all the other work these boys do for Buffalo, it makes me happy to know that not all professional athletes are selfish jerks. We're pretty lucky when it comes to having people on our teams that are easy to root for.
*Goose being reunited with his roomie and BFF Pommer on a line yesterday. I didn't see the game, but I do like the way they play together. Goose adds a little toughness to Pommer's finesse.
*The fact that I finally decided on a jersey, and let's just say that I think Goose would be happy with my choice of a certain nap buddy of his:
I hope I look as good in his jersey as he looks in a tux.
I promise to have more on the extreme soul-searching that went into this decision sometime tomorrow.
*The fact that, hopefully, Derek Roy is remembering how a puck gets shot into a net.
*The wonderful reception I've got in my first few months as a blogger. Seriously, I cannot thank all of my readers enough. I started this as simply a place to release the emotions that tend to well up in me over our sports teams. I never expected to have people respond so kindly to the things I write. It's nice to have a little place to call our own as Buffalo fans, and I'm thankful that it's populated with such great writers and readers. Thanks again everyone for making me feel so welcome in this little world.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families!

Aww, Pommers was definitely a good choice for your next jersey selection. :D
I hope Derek Roy can remember the back of the net, too. He's starting to get on a roll, and it would be nice to see that entire line contributing every night like they did yesterday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
it would be nice to see that entire line contributing every night like they did yesterday.
That's totally on my Christmas wish list, Shelby!
I hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving!
