A weekend of buddy buddy, followed by the parade and festival with the family. My favorite weekend of the year.

Snowvember 2022

joe - 11/20/2022 10:47AM

So we didn't get the 6+ feet the south towns got but we definitely got 3 feet between pong night Thursday night and today. I spent most of yesterday clearing all the snow from our house down to North since the Ascension for the Arts group doesn't shovel or snowblow. I felt sore but pretty buff by the end.

skinny dip creek

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

Igloo builders

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.

B-Sides on Chippewa

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.

e:uchina's bday

joe - 03/17/2022 10:39PM

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!

Ethiopian at West Side Bazaar

joe - 02/05/2022 2:35PM

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.

a real winter

joe - 01/26/2022 12:39AM

This feels like the first real winter in a while. Like snow stays on the ground and no thawing. I always feel the need to get out and walk around after it snows. One, because besides peak summer, Buffalo looks best covered in a layer of snow. And two, part of me thinks snowy winters will be mostly gone in the near future.
