K-BEAR: K-Bear Has a New Honey!

Attending soccer games in Upstate New York in October is beautiful. The fall foliage explodes with color, the sky is blue, and the temperatures are cool. It seems that fall is also a season for romance. While attending a recent soccer game at SUNY Broome Community College, K-Bear was smitten by BCC's official mascot, the Hornet. He's been talking of nothing else since!

K-BEAR: Pulling Gs with K-Bear

K-Bear took to the skies over Arizona in an F-16 Fighting Falcon. This was K-Bear's first time in an F-16, and he happily reports no adverse reaction to G forces. All stuffing is still intact. ;-)
