Day 269

This weekend I did some walking in Webster Park, which runs right along Lake Ontario, although there is no beach but some nice stones for sitting and for skipping. Mostly it consists of open fields, playgrounds and picnic pavilions. When I was a kid , the highlight of our summer was the American Legion picnic […]

Day 268

I an NOT, nor have ever been a football fan, but all I can say today is GO, BILLS!

Day 267

Today I got my steps in baby shopping with Kris and Dave. Not shopping for a baby, but shopping for things for the anticipated baby. Specifically, we were looking for a car seat and stroller. The newest in big box baby stores is Buy, Buy Baby. When you set foot in here you will immediately […]

Day 265

My family likes to go to the Plum Garden restaurant when we have something to celebrate. Today was Robyn’s birthday, and we were once again gathered around the hibachi cooking table. A meal here combines food with entertainment, and if you are able to catch a ball of rice in your mouth, you become part […]

Day 264

I’m one of those annoying people who considers every day a gift from God, and every warm, sunny day after Labor Day an extra special gift, like that gift that comes in a big box, perfectly wrapped in foil paper, tied with matching ribbon, and topped with a huge colorful bow. Today was a day just like that. […]

Day 261

Today was a supercalifragilisticexpialadocious day in Rochester. Almost 3,000 marathoners had perfect weather to take in the scenery as they ran through the city. The Buffalo Bills beat the Oakland Raiders 38-35 in a jumping out of your seat with excitement game. And in my world, my family was blessed by a shower of gifts […]

Day 260

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m still in a cleaning mode. After dusting, vacuuming and mopping, I decided to work in the yard for three hours. And why doesn’t your back hurt while you’re working, but only after you’re done and go to sit down? Anyway, with all the bending my pedometer kept […]
