I spent most of the day with Uncle Dudley and her husband Bernie, squeezing every last drop of sunshine from the clear blue sky. they have been in Florida since October and we just needed time to chat and catch up. usually Uncle Dudley and I have a little time alone but Bernie really wanted to hang out with us. the box of wine label says it is more eco-friendly than glass bottles.

my housemate Wendy's cat Honey scared me Sunday night & Monday morning by not coming out to greet me. she was fine when Wendy got home Monday morning. I couldn't imagine having to tell her either I had lost honey or that she was dead. Honey is a couple years older than China Cat.

My cousin Ronn was in Muscle Car Review, Dec. 2012, with his dodge dart.

I set up A's new (refurb) computer ($200!) and then went to the office to get my mail. Much to my surprise, Jill arrived only minutes later, so we got to catch up a bit. It's been a month and a half, I miss home and all of these people so much, all the tight connections between us. Jill was anxious and worried tho, she had just heard that a a friend's two-month old baby was on the way to the hospital because he was unresponsive. She was shaking with fear and shock and was trying to coordinate with others about who was taking the other two kids, who was going with the mom to the hospital, who was getting in touch with relatives and other friends. As the drama unfolded, we talked about a new tree plan for the boro, the council, and the school district's self-inflicted disaster to distract her. Then the news finally came, the baby died. Jill broke down.

path choices

visited the mountainside client again today. I could have driven up the driveway but since it was precipitating with unusual variation, I walked up the path. these are the choices.

a lovely visit

Barb and Cara were in town for mother's day and decided that hanging with us would be the best use of their limited social time. :-) so we talked and gamed last night. it was great to catch up and amusing to get the two wonderful folks lost to Houston together with our gain from Houston, (e:Dianne). that all happened at about the same time last summer.

(e:Dianne) and I visited the flea market at the parish house on Elmwood. 8 tracks! Liberace!

bike ride!

we stopped at silo city's bee hive while (e:yesthatCasey)& (e:paul) dropped off a modem at twc until the owner drive up in his late '60s olds convertible and politely asked us to leave.

mulberry had very good food, altho not many veggie options. (e:Terry) and i shared the porcini ricotta ravioli and a lovely cheese-drenched eggplant dish. we all shared some fried mozzarella, which was just fantastic. yummy!

one hell of a ride... 20 miles! sheesh! We did about 14 miles last Sunday.

More anti-Paladino campaign flyers

To continue (e:Libertad)'s publicizing of the series of negative campaign flyers we've been getting. As you may know, Carl Paladino is running for Buffalo School Board (I think in the south Buffalo district).

He's got several people running in other districts seeking to create a majority bloc. Bryon McIntyre is one. Here's an article about the flyers from YNN

No one is claiming responsibility. They're expensive full-color two-sided mailers.
