Pin itSorry for the iPhone photo but you get the idea: Just another winter day in Blustery Buffalo. So what do Western New Yorkers do to escape the cold? Eat, for one. Here’s a list of some of my favorite Buffalo foods.

Pin itA decent camera or more muscle to pony-up to the stage would have been useful when I attended the Mid-Atlantic Inaugural Ball a year ago today. President and Mrs. Obama are pictured in this “abstract” image.

Pin itHaving just finished a 4,000+ word essay on living in the Everglades to be considered for an antholgoy about living and working in national parks, I’m in a mellow, national park mood. Photo was taken at Eco Pond at Flamingo. Enjoy
Pin it2009 was the first year in a long time, perhaps nine years, that my travels didn’t take me abroad. I didn’t even visit Canada!
