just found out there is an outside chance I will be attending a Sabres game in December. First time in almost 4 full years... :cry: all the emotions

man, 4 years? That would be brutal if 3 of those years were actually watchable.

I'd planned a short trip back East for this past weekend way back in July so my dad would know when he was going to see me again after the move.  The timing was largely driven by a desire to be there as close to Thanksgiving as was financially reasonable, but it ended up giving him something good to look forward to after the events of last week (see Thursday thread).  He's doing a lot better emotionally than I expected, and although he's still recovering from the radiation, he was able to eat (and taste!) the turkey and sides we had for dinner.  Baby steps towards what will hopefully be a full recovery as the weeks go on.

They installed some of the old Aud seats at the Ice at Canalside

Saw that on Saturday, me and Mrs. sat in them and watched them make the ice for a bit. Pretty cool!

Noir/conspiracy theory movie about Tesla that was shot AND actually takes place in Buffalo/Niagara Falls. Has a bunch of stars (headlined by Matthew Broderick) in it. Looks very cool

The Sabres-Stars game I went to Saturday was the first Sabres game I went to in 35 years. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. (And I think it was closer to 40 years for jsb who sat next to me).

By the way, the lack of facial hair in that pic was disturbing. All y'all improved former Buffalonians? No longer need the scruff to protect yourself from the elements? Anti-men's health? What gives?

Maybe when Jack is old enough to grow a beard, we will let ours grow.

 

 

Awesome:  The wonder of internet streaming- I visit Orlando periodically for work.  While I'm there I listen to WUCF- Jazz & More.  It finally occurred to me I could listen to them at home via streaming.  I know almost nothing about jazz, but I love to listen to it.

My boss brought me a cookie. It's the little things.

 

Surgery at 730 am tomorrow. Awesome that it's so early, I'll have all day to lay around in a drug haze so I have a shot at being coherent on Thanksgiving! 


Somehow I'm caught up at work. I don't know how to feel just now. 

Yayyy!

 

I'm currently working on a Power Rangers game. 3 of us that sit near each other are all on this game, and any time I look up, someone is acting out martial arts moves for animation ref purposes. Pretty funny stuff.

It took me a full 10 minutes and multiple reads of this post to realize it meant you had no work left to do rather than tons of work/staying late.

 

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why that was in the awesome thread. Yay reading comprehension.  :doh:

My girlfriend just got back for her T-giving break.  And it's my birthday.

 

And we're going to the Sabres game tomorrow.

Nice hat trick. Happy Birthday!

I didn't get it until you posted this. I thought it was a response to my post about being happy.

Good luck tomorrow, Jo!  Remember shrader's advice:  take the pills BEFORE you think you need them post-surgery!

Thanks bio! 

 

Yeah, I'm gettin' pretty scared now... Given the pain I'm in and they haven't even cut me open/screwed metal in there yet... I've had so many surgeries, including heart, and none of those scared me, and I find myself getting the heebie jeebies over this. Sigh. I'm stupid.

Remember our deal for Thursday. I'll want photo confirmation of stuffing and mashed potatoes.

I could conceivably go snowboarding tomorrow or Friday.  Not sure I will between weather and things to do before company arrives Fri. evening, but the fact that it's an option here when PA resorts always struggled to open by Jan. 2nd is pretty awesome.
