Obama on the mark

I enjoy Halloween. I'm in charge of giving out candy. It will be windy, cold and rainy tonight. Bummer.

Even Ann Coulter praised Obama for his comments on "woke." Me, I wish he were still president, But I guess I can live with him being able to impact our discourse.

An eventful weekend

Zann is reuniting with college friends in Chicago and Grace's first college swim meet, against the University of Rochester, was last night. Zann is planning fun things like the architectural tour on the Chicago River and taking tomorrow to visit with family in Tinley.

Canisius walked (swam?) away with an easy victory and Grace won both her individual and medley races. Very exciting.

She's in lane 4 

We're jealous of Zann and hope she takes and shares a lot of pictures.

Our Catskills visit

We planned on 6 nights but returned after 3 because our friends Ralph Vastola and Katie Martin died. We are mourning two old friends but celebrating their lives.

The Catskills only needed 3 nights anyway. Great to see, no rush to return. Unpopulated, winding roads, very small towns, but definitely worth a must-see if only for the scenery. The Grossingers of past years are long gone, replaced by the "fly fishing capital of the world" (Roscoe, NY) Here are our few pics.

Next up, Amy's birthday party on Sunday.
