I don't know how I would feel if they hadn't come to Ithaca. I would probably feel differently. But all things have their time.

When you set out on your journey to Ithaca, pray that the road is long,full of adventure, full of knowledge.

We were a little rusty last week in Ithaca. It was good to be back in front of our own crowd.

It was a struggle for both teams, and a little tighter than I was hoping on. Ithaca played well against us and really took us out of our game. It was a tough season opener for both teams.

In some ways, it's not the professional music making you hear up at Ithaca College and Cornell. On the other hand, this is really coming from the hearts of people who live this music every week. From that standpoint, it's just amazing. There are lot of great musicians at Calvary Baptist and they sing from their hearts and souls, and the same at St. Paul's.

I just would like to express my gratitude to all the loyal customers who have helped us along in this painful process. I think Gary is going in with a real customer loyalty factor.
