Easter
Wow, what a day of non-stop eating. I have never had so many desserts. I seriously ate until I thought I was going to die and then came the dessert and snack plates.



On the easter basket front, things have really changed. Instead of the shredded plastic, earth disaster basket - this year my mother filled an eco-friendly, re-usable shopping tote with candy minus any filler. It was great!

I can't wait until tomorrow night - Dyngus Day. As Mr Mike said Easter is really just Dyngus Day eve. Its so awesome that Buffalo has so many different ethnic groups that each have their own holidays. If I lived in some homo-ethnic or western American town I wouldn't have a different ethnic holiday to celebrate each month. Who else is going out?

Site messages
Usually the messages I get are either hate mail, sexual inuendo or advertisers trying to get their product reviewed. Mostly advertisers.

Then I got this nice message today.

I happened across your blog today.

I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how nice it was to read something that was interesting, had a variety of topics and great images. The art of the blog seems to be a lost art these days and has been replaced by dull, trite and tedious "I'm at the grocery store! Yay me!" Facebook/Twitter updates.

It was a welcome break to read the past 4 years of your blog and to see that you have posted an update in the past 2 days, so it's current.

And you made me miss Buffalo. That's no small feat!

Thanks!

David

All I have to say is, no - thank you David for making me feel better about not being a twit or whatever they are called. You should start a journal, we have a lot of Buffalo expats here. A lot of time s I feel like I am some internet throw back because I don't facebook or twitter my every moment.

Last night we went Curly's in Lackawanna for dinner.

The food is amazing. They also can make all their pasta dishes gluten
free which is awesome for (e:matthew) a d anyone else with celiac.

They even made gluten free dinner rolls for matt brought to the table.

I had the seafood pomodori. It was totally delicious. Their
specialty is actually carribean food.

It's totally worth the trip, just take route 5 and go left on ridge
road. It's right by the botanical gardens.

What about marlboro reds?



I just walked an hour in the cold wind on the way to a chiropractic appointment to treat a cold wind injury. I think it was a net gain of zero as my neck is spazin out on the way home after a particularly strong freezing gust.

I Hate walking to and in the village. Its a death trap for pedestrians.

I just want muscle relaxants.

I just want my FIOS account at my house now. Supposedly time warner is starting bandwidth limiting. With overage fees of $1/GB. That is seriously going to change the internet as I know it. It makes you think about doing things like listening to internet radio while playing a game or download all the different Linux ISOs for fun.

I guess Time Warner just wants to accelerate themselves going out of business as soon as there is any other choice.

The year before she was taken away at gun point.
