Well, I get to enjoy a stress free NFL Sunday,  as my Bills played and beat the Lions on Thursday night.  Josh Allen and the offense have looked pretty good.   Defense needs to be better, but as New DC Jim Leonard pointed out this summer – new defensive scheme, some new faces, it’ll take some time.  So i will go along with our new DC.

Rob asked for a hostess cupcake type of treat.   I suggested cookies instead of cupcakes and he was on board with that.  They are topped with a marshmallow fluff filling, chocolate frosting, and a squiggle,  that is more of a line bc I can’t decorate worth squat.
