friendship trail and windmill point parkCategory: love
We've had the best day! We started with an excellent breakfast cooked by some cute boys, then gathered our gear for a ride to windmill point park in Fort Erie. The peace bridge inclines weren't as bad as I thought they'd be, but the non-path provided for bikers is CRAZY. with as many bikers as we saw crossing the bridge, you'd think we wouldn't feel like the first riders ever. It was incredibly dangerous crossing the traffic lanes. I'm glad we get to skip the lines tho.
however, friendship trail is amazing!!! The ghost park is so neat and I loved the interpretive signage. it's a beautiful, well maintained pathway that if you take it far enough, gets you to British Columbia. well before that, you get to windmill point park, a spring-fed flooded quarry. We swam and dove of the little cliff. so fun! The ride back seemed really quick and easy, even the huge peace bridge incline. my tummy doesn't like the bridge, or maybe seeing the moving water. I almost panicked on the way over, but on the way back I just focused on watching (e:Dianne)'s cute ass instead of trying to sightsee.
next, dinner!

Acorn Outing 2014Category: home
I didn't take many pix for Acorn Outing this year. The vibe was weird for me & (e:Dianne). Back when I was living in Bl*ss and even when I was in law school, this was the most important event of my year - finally a chance to be my hippie progressive self in a community of hippies. Now, my life is very integrated and I have great friends here, I have a wonderful life every day. Acorn isn't necessary to my identity or my friendships. A weird realization to have sitting next to a huge bonfire on a Saturday night, but there it is.

Buffalo Pride 2014Category: holiday
My nephew Tyler visited us for Pride weekend. It was great to be able to introduce him to city life and the diversity of queer culture. Denise, (e:Terry)'s wonderful mommy is also visiting. These pix are a blend of Saturday night's Dyke March and Sunday's events. So much fun! It was also my birthday on Saturday and I got to enjoy brunch with with (e:xandra), (e:Dianne), Tyler and Denise, then met the boys at the Harbor after the Skyride. We hung out in the back yard of the 24 where the wisteria was gorgeous and Basra was shoving (e:Dianne) around on the canoe. (e:Dianne), (e:xandra), Tanya and I went to the dyke march, spent a few minutes at the party on Allen, then had Ethiopian food! Yummy! (e:flacidness), (e:hodown), (e:zarkasm) and her boy joined us. We went back to the 24 and played games, then hit Nietzsche's for Stripteasers' 10th anniversary party. Much love! :-)

We really did have the BEST day!! It was an incredible ride and to be able to swim and dive after not being able to for a year was simply amazing! I CAN'T WAIT TO go with our boys and play, dive and swim, I so missed being able to do that!
