I worked late last Thursday in advance of our weekend trip to Buffalo. When I arrived home around 10pm I opened my mail and found out that I passed my Certified First Responder course (for NY State) and that I now had a certificate!

I started the class last September and now I'm an active CFR (Certified First Responder).

Arjan and I went to Buffalo for the weekend. We got to see Medesky, Martin, and Wood on Friday night at a great outdoor concert venue (Harbor Place, near the mostly demolished Aud). Saturday I walked around Elmwood taking photos, eating, and thinking about work while not working. I also went swimming, BBQ'd, and watched a terrible Ben Stiller movie.

Sunday - on our way home we detoured to Chimney Bluff near Sodus, NY and went for a long hike in the rain. Photos of the bluff are on flickr.
