Sorry my phone is a piece of crap. I love you. Sorry I am such a wretched son who doesn't call his mother nearly as much as he ought to. I hope the dance show and cutie Neal have taught you the value of Buffalo, and how much fun it would be to visit me. I am excited for your upcoming event, drive-thru or otherwise. I miss you all so much and wish I could manage to get over there more. I am sorry (for you) that my sister seems just as smart(ass?) as I am. Tell her I love her, please. My B-day is coming up so I will probably talk to you again within 2 weeks, which just might be a first. And lastly, Maui has nohin' on da B-lo!
(except beautiful white beaches... crystal clear waters... hot bare-chested servers with coconut-shelled parasol-topped frozen delights...)
well at least invite me?!

Lookin' for a swim holeCategory: summer
Just wondering if anyone knows a good place to swim. I'm looking for something unchlorinated. Such as a non-mucky pond, or a filled-in quarry. A rushing stream would be okay too. I need to swim! Anywhere within about an hour of Buffalo is fine. I'll even cross the border if I have to.
Any suggestions? Anyone wanna lead us through a secret backwoods trail to that perfect hidden pond you've been sojourning to every summer?
Please, help me get wet!

Green is the color of my true love's haiCategory: parade
St. Patrick's day is here!
Gotta love washing the taste of coffee away with beer.
We'll be down around Delaware/North for the parade. Right now we're filling up the lounge room at the 24. A bit of pregame never hurt. Afterwards, who knows? Crazy bars, back to homestead, taking the parade to the Fruit Belt, anythings possible.
See you there!

a student againCategory: school
Apparently I've shined off the last of my rust. Taking 7 years off school and then jumping back in was a bit of a shock, but I just got the results of my first exam and <ta-duh> I got an A. And I have an A in the class as a whole. Yay! Just call me the Chemistry King.

Are you proud? I'm proud.
YOu know my Mawmaw got married when she was 17. Her Husband told her that she could stay in school but she ended up barefoot and pregnant for years. When Mawmaw was 40 her hubbie died so she got her GED and went to nursing school. Then she was a nurse the rest of her life.
...I'll tell you her working in a panty factory story later.

Nice work - there is always an adjustment period when going back to school after an extended stay away... at least for most people.

I sooo understand what it is like to get the braing moving again after time being inactive -- or at least the student part of the brain. For me, it was about 20 years!!
Congrats on the grade, Terry... doesn't surprise me a bit. You're a smartie pants!

Wow- I'm loving this. I also love to swim, and am frustrated with the lack of options around here.
One place I've been going (which mind you, is Lake Erie) is Gallagher Beach in south buffalo, at the end of Tifft St, accross from Tifft Farms. It's next to an old grain elevator, and it can look a little post-industrial at times, but it has been cleaned up a lot in recent years. There's even a nice boardwalk. The beach is gravel, but in the water, it is actually pretty sandy.
I'm excited to hear about a pool in my area too. Mike, you mentioned the "pool club" at Holiday Inn on Delaware. You mean the one closest to North St? Is it an outdoor pool? How much is the pass?
I hit up Beaver Island State Park for a non chlorinated swim. Located on South end of Grand Island (exit 18), the water source is upper portion of Niagara River. Lots of sand! Would be about 15 min drive from B-Lo?
:::link:::
and there is a hidden lake/pond that is located in Wheatfield area. I'd have to show you, as its not soemthing I can exactly give directions to. "drive along river road, find train tracks, look closely for dirt bike/ATV trails. Park on side of road. Follow foot path till find lake. Jump in"
For chlorination, Fort Niagara. Wade pool, 4ft olympic size pool and deep pool w/ slide. Could jump into Lake Ontario, but as with Lake Erie, ik dont recommend it. :)
If you do find out let me know too. Diving into a pond from a boat is the very stuff summer is made of.
Too bad that one of the largest lakes on the planet is feet away from us but so poluted your toenails turn into toucans upon contact.
come here, my auntie and uncle have a salt water pool!!!!
I want to swim!!!
Thunder bay beach cross the border is good. It's Lake Erie but it is removed from the industrial crap on our side. There is a hidden beach along Garrison Road in Ft Erie that works out pretty well. No Amenities of anyy kind other than clean sand and water for said wettness.
On the chlorinated front, I belong to the pool club at the Holiday Inn on Delaware. Pay one price swim as much as you want between Memorial Day and Labor Day
no chlorine and no lake erie? hmm... when someone tells you, can i tag along? i adore swimming... and getting wet in general. ;)
