No, you CAN'T root in the damn press box

HersheyPark deserves it. Some of the biggest price ripoffs around.

There is no question any more that for these parts, a trip to Lancaster and surrounding areas is a far superior vacation spot. Dutch Wonderland might be better than Hershey alone.

 

Oh that’s funny. To me early snow = much more dramatic fall photography.

 

Haven't been to Hershey in years. Ended up getting to go to HersheyPark a couple years later in eighth grade on a big class trip. It was pretty good. Now that I'm a dad with a job, I can understand where my dad was coming from, I guess.

 

Cannot remember if I've told this story before but ...
Traveled to Hershey to take in Bears' games on Friday and Saturday nights.
Saturday morning, I'm in the Bears' P.R. guy's office when someone from Penn's version of its high school activities organization walks in and says, "My p.a. announcer has dropped out."
That afternoon, HersheyPark Arena was site of a couple of state basketball playoff games.
The P.R. guy points to me and says, "Maybe he can do it."
Long story short, I did. It was certainly a cramming session prior trying to study pronouncers and such.
After those games, hung around and watched the crew pull up the basketball court and set the place up for the Bears.
After that game, I visited the Pink Pussycat.
I recall it was a long, but interesting and productive day.

 

I found it fascinating the few times I had to finish a story in the Old Barn while they were shifting from basketball to hockey. I also remember a district playoff game when Sam Bowie played for Lebanon. They were facing Carlisle. It was unseasonably warm, and the court began to "sweat" from the ice underneath. Players couldn't cut without doing a belly flop or worse. They had to suspend the game near halftime.

 

Is BuffaCheer decked out in “I Believe” apparel today?

 

You only cover us when you get off the bench!

 

I’ve been to the Finger Lakes a couple of times, to Ithaca and Skaneateles. Beautiful area.

I just love how Skaneateles is actually pronounced as “Skinny Atlas”. After all, Fat Atlas works just as hard and deserves a Finger Lakes town and lake.

 

Roger Kahn wrote a fun book about the year he owned the Utica team.

 

I cringe and then I am instantly grateful this shiz wasn't around when I was a 22-year-old rock star (or however old she is)
There are reasons the human brain doesn't hit full development until the mid-20s.
And she is presumably sober doing all this.
