First Day in Ithaca

I'm in Ithaca, NY for several days to attend a conference, and squeeze in a visit to my old friend Jordan. That didn't come out right - we've been friends since we were about 15, how about that?

In a funny coincidence, my new friend B went to college here, and was reminiscing about how the weather if often SO GRAY. But it was amazingly beautiful today as I drove from Syracuse to Ithaca. I'm going to Sapsucker Woods tomorrow morning before the conference starts. It's part of the famous (to people who birdwatch, anyway) Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

I also walked around downtown tonight, and came across this storefront. It was closed so I don't know what kind of store it is, but aren't those bottles fun?

  5. Suzanne,
    B is the person I recently met on Match. In addition to his great qualities, he lives about 10 blocks from me. So far, so good.
