So really, why do we need it? Seems to me it's better to get the hour of sun in the AM all year long. If you live closer to the equator, you don't need it and we in the north don't care much any more. Spring forward, fall back has seen its time.
Grace had another meet this past weekend and earned some recognition. There's a limit of four events for each swimmer, and she's always at the top. You go, girl!
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.

Remembering sisters
Frannie died 4 years ago tomorrow, Joaners 9 years ago in January of this year. They aren't gone if we remember them and I for one do that a lot. My beautiful sisters.
They've aged well.
Marc turns 48 today, Peter turned 47 on the 8th, so we had a combined party yesterday to celebrate. I think they look pretty good, don't you?
The pool is still open but unheated so it's got to be in the 60s. Dew couldn't resist a last swim--and he stayed in for almost a half hour. He is our water lover.

Say it ain't so!
We learned tonight that the Anchor Bar, home of the Buffalo chicken wing, is declaring bankruptcy. It was a major site whenever we had out of town visitors, almost up there with the Falls. (Well, perhaps that's an overstatement.) In reality, theirs weren't the best wings in town. I even had better at a bar in San Diego.
So, bye-bye Anchor. We won't miss ye.
