My favorite place ever. Probably our fifth time down this summer, the water is so low.

Another birthday weekend. This time for our friend's Shane and Alex. Igloos were constructed, a whole snow neighborhood was gentrified and I fell in love with Jan Magnuson, sporty-short dog trainer.

A chicken finger restaurant by the owners of Bacchus in the old Mighty Taco. They had a fried vegan sandwich - could use some more flavor, but otherwise nice to be out for lunch like it's 2017.

Late but a few weekends ago we went away to Seneca Lake for (e:uchina)'s birthday.

The house was nice with an overly hot hot tub, a short hike away at the tallest falls in New York(!) and we were treated to an impromptu Sara McLaughlin concert!

(e:terry) and I took a walk to pick up the car from getting the exhaust repaired at Forest Automotive. Side note, they are the only auto repair people that haven't felt like a complete scam. Pretty honest assessments, they give you estimates for the short-term cheap fix and the long-term real fix.

So after picking up the car we stopped at the West Side Bazaar for Abyssinia Ethiopian and a Sudanese stand I hadn't tried before. The veggie platter is so good.

I miss going to Fast and Tasty on Allen multiple times a week.
