Antwerp, Belgium
Poor Dave Franczyk is having some troubles this week, due to his flippant use of the term “ethnic cleansing” in regards to the Catholic church consolidating parishes on the east side. Since music soothes, I thought I’d send him this virtual present. *snicker*
Holy week is a church marathon for Amanda and I. Being in the choir means we sing Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil tonight. Toss in blessing of the baskets Saturday afternoon and that would be more church than most people can handle in a year. But we don’t stop there. Amanda being…
Sometimes I think Spammers are just misunderstood people. If we would just read more closely and try harder to understand what they’re attempting to tell us, I think we wouldn’t be so adversarial when these slip into our inbox. And so, I launch my “Spam of the Week” column. This week’s entry comes from “Jerry”….
Last week if you would have asked me about my thoughts on Buffalo’s Trico plant, I probably would have told you I didn’t have many. My knowledge of the property was limited, as frankly is my knowledge of many of Buffalo’s buildings aside from the Central Terminal. It’s a side effect of being intently focused…
I didn’t get a chance to listen to Bauerle’s FUD today, but BuffaloPundit did. Tom Bauerle is badmouthing Buffalo Old Home Week and therefore badmouthing Buffalo and Western New York as a good place to live. Why? Because we suck and we’re an economic desert.

Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
