Toronto Pride

· · 🌡️ 63°F


Toronto pride is insane. We checked into a hotel not far from Church Street where the whole festival goes on. Its probably 10 blocks long and packed with people.

On the way to Toronto

· · 🌡️ 71°F


After seeing @Robert and Mickey out last night, we decided to take a spur of the moment trip up to Toronto for pride. We'll see how this goes!

Spoon at the square

· · 🌡️ 66°F

I got yelled at by a private security guard for jumping a fence. I thought the docks were blocked off for private boat people but I was rebelling without a cause because that wasn't the case.

Anyway spoon was nothing great but we saw Emily, Mike, Kerry and many others but never saw my siblings ;(

Letchworth swim

· · 🌡️ 64°F


We stopped at Letchworth on the way home with @terry's mom to show her the falls and grand canyon of the east. We also got to swim in the freaking gigantic pool. I love being able to go off a diving board too.

Heidi and Dianne's Wedding ceremony

· · 🌡️ 73°F

The ceremony on Saturday was really beautiful. The mayor of Blossburg officiated and everything. Congrats @heidi and @Dianne. I wish I got more pictures of the ceremony itself - I'm sure you have plenty - but I mostly got pictures of people's butts.



The setup

Stick bugs in Blossburg and wedding rehersal

· · 🌡️ 73°F

I got down to Blossburg on Friday with @libertad, @mike, and @YesThatCasey. When I got there, @paul had helped prep for the wedding with the cutest stick butterflies. I missed the message that they were supposed to be butterflies and made a poison bug spewing flowers and strawberries stalks for eyes.

After the wedding party rehearsed, we had a delicious dinner and games at the Jones's Pond (NOT Jones pond). They even had a tofu marinated in a chivetta's type sauce. I can't remember the last time I tasted that.

The pond was very neat - and had an awesome view of the sunset.

Bachelor day

· · 🌡️ 73°F

While @paul and @terry went down to Blossburg on Thursday to prepare for @heidi and @Dianne's wedding, and pick up Terry's mom, I stayed home to work. I don't think I have been away from both of them for more than 12 hours since the summer I met them (maybe when I went to Cleveland and raced home?) (@joe #58026) This time they left at 8 am Thursday and I didn't see them again until 5pm Friday.

It was real strange. I think I can't actually handle being alone for too long - I've never really been alone for long my whole life. So I went out on the Thursday night ride down to a greasy cheese stick bar in South Buffalo, and ended up dancing and getting cray at Q til 5, with two British girls and Chevon Davis's roommate. I got home at 6, received a crazy call and just couldn't sleep. Fun, but would have been a better night with them.

Glass Animals

· · 🌡️ 73°F

We went to the Glass Animals concert at Babeville with @xandra and @YesThatCasey. It's one of those concerts that was way better than the album. We even saw the cute farmer boy and I made some awkward small talk with him.
