For my birthday this year we decided to take a drive down to Watkins Glen. The trip ended up being three parks – we stopped at Stony Brook for lunch on the way down, then to Watkins Glen, then at Letchworth on the way back. We dodged a lot of rain, but stayed dry and had a really good time.
I’ve got a lot of great photos (and video) but I still need to go through them. So here’s the quick family snapshots.

It’s that yet another of the oft-repeated reasons to tear it down is about to be disproven. We’ve heard before that Buffalo doesn’t have the shipping traffic it once had, so we don’t…
I was at the Terminal today so WNYmedia.net could record an interview with one of the Bring It Back To Life recording artists, Michael Bly. I was amazed at how dry the place is! Granted we haven’t had that much snow this winter to melt, but the concouse was bone dry! I checked some of…

We had our large, woodburning masonry fireplace inspected and it passed with flying colors, so I have 3 cords of wood being delivered on Sunday. We’ve had some new furniture delivered. I’ve gotten half the garage cleared out so…
You had to expect that we hadn’t heard the end of the Issac Hayes incident. Tonight, Trey Parker and Matt Stone strike back: Hayes, also a Scientologist, is the subject of The Return of Chef!, a hastily assembled 10th-season premiere airing tonight (Comedy Central, 10 ET/PT) and written in response to the actor’s exit. Details…
Oh, these are great! Won’t you please ask Amanda to bring Ariella in for a little visit? Maybe on Wednesday (so Ruthann can meet them too)?
