I have (had?) a friend and I noticed I always texted first. One day I stopped texting first. Haven't heard from him since. That was 2 years ago. 😞

Do you: 1) Live near/in Buffalo? 2) Like to organize stuff? 3) Hate what the government is doing to science? If you answered yes, help me organize the Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! I need reps from UB, Buff State, Canisius, D’Youville to spread the word. I need general support. DM me!

Maybe it'll happen this weekend. If you see fireworks going off in Kenmore, you'll know.

Spotted what is, I think, a Tesla Cybercab last night in Buffalo (Delaware Ave, between the 198 and Hertel). No markings, 'MANUFACTURER' Texas license plate. No rear window.

Me, playing Wordle today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzPy... QUONE - TO QUONE SOMETHING! Nah, we need a medical dictionary! If the patient is difficult, you QUONE him!

Physically tired but mentally wide awake so I guess it's time to get up

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Snow removal on campus went so poorly they cancelled classes tomorrow. We live in Buffalo - we know snow. This is embarrassing.

I don't think I'll get to the gym until March. Good thing I have a home gym in the basement. I should've paused my membership back in November. Those of you showing up in this weather are badasses! 💪

Don't just abolish ice. Abolish ice, then put them all on trial.

I've been mildly sick all week and it's just so annoying: can't workout, nauseous after eating. Really makes me appreciate being healthy, which I hope returns very soon.

Whoever did this, thanks for making my neighborhood a little cooler 🙏🏻

First day of the Spring Semester at Buffalo State is Monday - and classes are cancelled. (Good thing I teach Tuesday!)

“He Can’t Do That” Is a Hope, Not a Strategy open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... "The question is are we prepared to respond when [Constitutional] limits are tested, ignored, or broken. History suggests that waiting until the law is fully cast aside is always too late."

The line at Delta Sonic is crazy but the salt on my car is worse.

Not a done deal, but sketches of new Shake Shack coming to Kenmore?!? I was at the meeting last night and there are definitely both pros and cons (traffic, mainly) but I look forward to this project moving forward.

Oh it's a catch and he's down by contact this time???

Like the Bill's OT loss to the Chiefs 4 years ago, I predict this play will result in a rule change giving coaches 1 challenge flag during playoff OT. NFL won't admit they're wrong but their actions will tell us they were wrong.

This weather front is better organized than the Democratic party

Enjoying these rare weekends when neither my wife nor I have work to do. On Saturday we went to the Buffalo AKG Art Museum then on Sunday snowshoeing at Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve.

I'd ask what my Congressman @reptimkennedy.bsky.social has to say about today's illegal war but he abandoned bsky 5 months ago. He's still posting at the bad place, however.

Today is Friday. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had no clue. I'm working today because I know my coworkers will not be, even if they're not taking PTO. It'll be a light day, and I refuse to take PTO on the first working day of the year.

Mark your calendars: we're bringing Kenmore Porchfest back: Sunday June 28, 2026

I ran 721.85 miles in 2025, which is up from 695.27 miles in 2024. Nearly 200 miles of trail running, up from 150 in 2024. Only 1 race on the 2026 calendar so far. 2026 might be less organized racing, more free running.

Since I'm up at 3:30, I'm guessing I won't make it to midnight tonight. Again. Honestly I can't remember the last time I stayed up for New Year's.

Going to be a rough couple of days around here. I can handle a lot of things, but the winds really get me anxious.

A Christmas Story is based on a collection of short stories, "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash," which is why it works as a 24-hr movie marathon. You can tune in any time and catch an entire story.

I've got a lot of problems with you people, and now you're gonna hear them!

Got the salt off both vehicles. I think Delta Sonic added an evergreen scent to the car wash lately.

@britannica.com today's Revealed answer is a typo (missing a letter). But you have his name spelled right in the clues

The founder of GObike is going to be the City of Buffalo's new Parking Commissioner 👏👏👏👏 This makes me so happy and hopeful for the City's future. "GObike promotes active mobility options, trails and greenways, and complete streets in Western New York."

Derangement syndrome…

Reached the point where 18° isn't too cold and might even feel a bit mild. That's how bad the past few days have been.

OMG "Buffalo sober" 😂 "Just beer and wine. And some of the lighter liquors."

"Both the town and the state had responsibility for maintaining a safe intersection… The town failed to provide “reasonable and safe conditions” for Leah and other pedestrians to cross at the intersection." Get 'em. WNY govt is constantly bowing down to car brains. Make them pay $$$

Just had thunder snow in Kenmore!

FIFA Peace Prize

I used to want my friends to text first. Now I'm just happy if they reply to a message.

My friend taught me this trick the other day on how to fall back asleep, and I've used it every night since (twice last night): Take a big number: ex 193 Count backwards by 7's 193, 186, 179, 172... It requires enough thought to push away other thoughts & has worked every time within minutes.

Had our first board meeting for Kenmore Porchfest 2026 tonight

Going to be another long night with these winds

I wish I knew how to turn off my brain. Instead, I guess I'm getting up at 2am again.

Students use ChatGPT to do the work 🤝 Teachers use ChatGPT to grade the work (I do review the results, and give ChatGPT feedback to make the grading better, but it writes really good feedback for my students)

Yesterday my daughters and I surprised my wife while she was at work by covering the living room ceiling with Christmas lights and decorations.

"The transit system is one of the greatest tools communities have to combat climate change and reduce emissions. “You can make a pretty immediate impact.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...

I've had dogs who didn't listen to me; when I'd say "sit" and they just looked at me then started licking themselves, I'd say "lick yourself" & then the dog was doing what I told it to do. That's what trump is doing here. He realizes it's going to happen, so he's pretending to be in favor of it.

Still thinking about Paul McCartney ending Friday night's concert with, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Not to mention seeing him perform "Let it Be" and "Hey Jude" live. Such a great concert.

This is the first year I'm not wishing my father a happy Veterans Day, because he *still* supports the guy who wanted to rename it "Victory Day for World War I"

GOP promises to talk about extending healthcare later.

This person took this when they called the race
