We were up in Buffalo last week for Easter, to visit my Mum and Dad, and Lizzy and Josh.\u00a0 Kathleen and the kids came up for Easter Sunday too.\u00a0 It was a fun trip and a good time.\u00a0 My Mum made a big Easter dinner.\u00a0 We watched some weird TV specials including Peter Cottontail, It’s the Easter Beagle Charlie Brown, and Happy Arbor Day Charlie Brown.\u00a0 Lots of chocolate, my dad really enjoyed that.\u00a0 Charlie is a good chess player.\u00a0 I haven’t played in ages so I’m pretty rusty, but nevertheless he beat me twice.\u00a0 We also played Risk, which was alot of fun.\u00a0 Michelle won that, having consolidated North America early on. On Dyngus Day, Michelle and I visited the Buffalo Zoo, which was a fun time too.\u00a0 I haven’t been there in years.\u00a0 They really have alot of great animals in a relatively small space.\u00a0 Lions, tigers, rhinos, gorillas, giraffes, a Komodo dragon, lots of other reptiles, birds and other creatures, and the largest polar bear I’ve ever seen.\u00a0 That night we all went to play trivia with Lizzy, which was alot of fun too.\u00a0 The Sabres were on TV, having just clinched the playoffs. Back home Wednesday night, Michelle and I went to see the Sabres vs. the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.\u00a0 The Sabres are hot this year and going to the playoffs for the first time in many years.\u00a0 The ended up winning 5-3.\u00a0 It was a well-played game on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been binge-watching 1980’s scifi\/action movies. So far the list includes Big Trouble in Little China, History of the World Part One (I know, it’s a comedy not action\/scifi), Spaceballs, Escape from New York, and first Two Terminator movies. Now I’ve started thinking about it and there’s a ton of fun, cool movies from when I was a teenager that I haven’t seen in many years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather had finally turned nice. I’ve been biking five days in a row. This week I’m also getting rolling on a bunch of springtime projects including getting some work done on the mustang, and project dirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
