It is snowing in Buffalo. I sound like a broken record when I say that. I think we are getting hit by a storm today but I’ll believe it when I see it. My mom and I went out to breakfast this morning to the Original Pancake House. I ordered some chocolate chip pancakes, which…

While driving home from work today, the highway had long stretches of snowy, unplowed road followed by perfectly clear road. Maybe the plow drivers lifted their plows while working and missed some spots. It was really windy and there were some whiteout conditions at times, but thinking that the roads were covered in snow in…

Western New York woke up to snow this morning. The snow continued all day but was very light and fine and did not accumulate to such an amount as to cause much trouble on the roads. It did look a bit messy but all in all, I thought travel went smoothly. The only hiccup personally…

Today, while at work, I decided to donate my microwave. At 3:33 PM, I arrived home and immediately Googled “donating a microwave.” I had to get stuck in right away if I wanted to actually get the microwave out of my apartment. I learned that Savers accepted electronics, and I could see the microwave plugged…

I am the proud owner of an official Major League Baseball. Sometimes, when I am thinking, or stressed, or in a good mood, I lay in bed and use the baseball. I throw it up above me with my right hand, watch it spin, see my right hand catch it, and hear it smack against…
