Visiting Buffalo is always full of peaks and valleys.\u00a0 High spots and good times and down time that drags.\u00a0 Its good to visit friends, to see old spots that were home, and people that make you miss being here.\u00a0 On that point its three in the afternoon and I’m drinking a beer by myself.\u00a0 That’s ok though, soon its off to visit Baby Squire and the smiles she brings (I suppose I’ll visit the Parent Squires – Sean and Missy – at the same time).<\/p>\n
But while sitting here I am trying to figure out what to do about my birthday.\u00a0 Its less than two weeks away.\u00a0 Normally I say screw it, and do nothing.\u00a0 I have a history of bad birthdays.\u00a0 This one is on a Friday.\u00a0 I’m contemplating driving someplace I’ve never been before by myself for my birthday.\u00a0 Literally running away for a weekend.\u00a0 Whats to stop me?<\/p>\n
What I really need is a destination that excites me and at the same time isn’t a ridiculously far drive.\u00a0 Say less than 4 hours, maybe 5 tops.\u00a0 Chicago is five (although I’ve been there before).\u00a0 Ann Arbor is three.\u00a0 Indianapolis is 5, and Wussy plays there Friday night on my birthday, but I wouldn’t make it unless I took my birthday off of work (tempting).\u00a0 Cinncinati is just over 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe the Wussy line of thought is the right way to go.\u00a0 Find a show somewhere on Friday or Saturday that is within my driving limit and go to it for my birthday.\u00a0 I think I’ll do some research this week and put wheels in motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
