MAAC Swimming 2020 Championship

The event is being held in Buffalo this year. Our Grace has competed in three events so far and placed in all. That's quite an accomplishment for a freshman in a conference with eleven colleges. Canisius does a good job using social media and I picked up this image from one of their Twitter accounts.


The entire meet has been streamed as well so I took video off the TV for two of the three events (50 Free and 200 Free Relay) with Grace getting her medal and celebrating with teammates who also placed. Not the best, but something.

Big sports fan (yeah, right)

Dew and Joy have season tickets for the Canisius College basketball games. The team played Marist yesterday and naturally we were there. A very exciting game, back and forth until Canisius won in the final seconds by 1 point. You can see the sports enthusiasm on Dew's face. Oh, wait---I'm looking at my phone. Never mind.


Then it was on to the Van Burens to watch the Super Bowl. Another very exciting game. Who won?  😂

DewJoy Books is No More


The time has come to discontinue them. Why? Because public libraries across the country now provide a service that can't be beat. It's called Libby and even I use it. You can check out both books and audiobooks and download them to either your phone or tablet. Follow the link to learn more about it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Winter sport?

We drove through a snowfall of some magnitude and loved by skiers to watch Grace and her Canisius teammates compete against Niagara University. The pool was heated like a summer day and Canisius won. Each swimmer is allowed to compete in 4 events and Grace won two and placed second in two. Then we drove home through even more snow. 😒
