A trip to see family in Erie County resulted in finding some old pics. my parents were always optimistic the Bills could win district and dressed for it, but resigned to the reality too. Some of our dearly departed, and a mid-90s version of yours truly.
I made a stop in Black Rock to see Pat, Helene, Will and Henry. It was my lucky day to be there for the annual deer skull boiling. Could become an annual excursion. No pictures from the family gathering in Hamburg, or breakfast with the Raukers, but it was good to see everyone.
Talia made it into the country despite having me in her contacts. She ran the Turkey Trot on a cold, windy day. Somehow, she managed to get Nafisa away from her books for a visit.More students, past and present. I considered riding with Nano to visit NYC, but didn't go. Still haven't been there since before COVID. She had a good time and has the benefit of a free place to stay. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas is not the time to get a hotel deal. Without identifying current students, I present the old dish soap challenge and see if you can spot the teacher's hand amongst the students.
A basketball trivia calendar caused all kinds of trash talk and bragging rights at work. Greg is enjoying his retirement job at IHS but trying to stay humble doing it. Probably should have written in Bubba Gary to get anyone to recognize him from his Bona's days.
I've never been to Spain, but the Collins have. They hoped to visit Ithaca, but this trip was a higher priority. Probably a good choice.
Shannon paid the price for having a birthday.
Gail and I couldn't make it to Chicago for Colleen and Quill's wedding, but with the texting going on by my siblings that weekend it was almost as if I was there. Nice to get photos too.
Alan and Marylin are in Florida, walking on the beach.
Amy had her cookie extravaganza at the inn to celebrate the holidays. Always worth loading up on steroids to ward off the reaction to gluten. Leigh was two balls down in pocket pool but not giving up.
