Smashing Rocks at Zoar

·

Very last minute we went to zoar. I swam a bit and then we smashed the hell out of shale rocks by hurling granite ones at them. It was quite satisfying.

So far today I ate three fried eggs, bacon, and a cheeseburger which is a very unusual diet for me. I need to switch up at dinner, not that I am getting fat. I am actually quite trim at 150 right now. I'm the perfect base that if I hit the gym starting soon I will look amazing during the seasons when you wear the most clothes and no one ever sees it, lol.

Toronto for Mikes Birthday

We toured the gaybarhood and ate lots of great food. I cannot believe how expensive drinks are. We could have rented out an entire bar for the price we paid for watered down crappy drinks and accomodations.

Altogether it was fun because we were together, but I have to say, each time I go to Toronto I like it less and less. Its so damn crowded and dirty. The thing that kills me the most is the lack of mobile internet. We probably could have arranged for more fun with an internet connection and working map navigation. I've had a smart phone with a data connection since 2003. You don't realize how dependent you are in things like that until they are gone.

Mustache madness

·

I decided to wax the stache for Toronto. Its hard to find an outfit to match blue shoes. I ended up giving up on the shoes and wore all drab brown and olive with the blue bandana.

Kaydara Noodle Bar - 777 Main St Buffalo

·

Had an amazing lunch at Kaydara noodle bar on Main street and Goodel. The food was unbelievably good and they don't even have their final lunch menu yet. According to the owner they do everything fresh including butchering their own animals. The prices were very reasonable. I will probably go back at least once a week as it is just a few blocks from work and home.

Main street just keeps getting better and better. Once the new buildings come to completion on the medical campus by Allen and Main and they finish fixing up the building that was falling down next to the red jacket - we may have an extended, healthy and vibrant section of main street after all.

Jones Pond

·

Camped there for the night with @mike and @libertad. It was mikes first tenting trip ever. The theme was cowboys and Indians. Spend the night dancing and the day lounging poolside. I would totally go back. My neck wishes I had remembered my pillow last night.

Rochester Museum Of Play

·

We traveled on down to the Strong Museum of Play with Zooey. She was wound up already just going someplace with me in the car but then when we arrived she went totally bananas. The place is pretty cool. I would have gone just as crazy at her age.
