Sheep Guarding Llama

I was supposed to be heading back to Geneseo tonight but Min wants me to spend the night here. It is nice sleeping here because we have a puppy to cuddle with.

I went for a long walk this morning around Frankfort and discovered all different parts of town that I never knew were there. It was a beautiful morning with a light rain. I had a good walk for about two hours.

This evening the whole family went out for dinner in Utica and then after that we went over to Min’s grandparent’s to visit for a while. We haven’t seen them in weeks.

Today is my last full day in Frankfort this week.

Congratulations to Eric and Amanda who had their baby this morning. Julia Elisabeth Millen was born this morning without too much ado. Eric called us in Frankfort around 10:30 to let us know that everything was going okay.

Not much news to report while I am out in Frankfort. I am around the house most of the day and am working on quite a bit of homework and reading that I need to catch up on.

Today we travelled out to Gilbert State Park that is about an hour south of Frankfort. It is a small state park built around a man made lake made during the depression years. It was a nice day for hanging out by the lake (I am not sure the exact difference between a lake and a pond but I think this was mislabeled – or at least it should be qualified as on Ohio Lake. New Yorkers tend to think of lakes as being pretty large.) I got a lot of reading down out there and Min and I managed to get over a mile of walking in on the trails.

Tons of work to get done today before I head out to Frankfort. Min is heading straight out there from Ithaca this afternoon and I am driving out tonight.

I am sure that a lot of you have noticed that there have been some problem keeping SGL up and running. We changed out some hardware today and if we are lucky, the server will keep up and running. So, pay attention but we are very hopeful.

We have been having some problems with our telephones here so we are trying out some new phones today. They are charging today and Andy is going to try them out tomorrow.

What a crazy weekend. It is a good thing that it is over because there is no way that I could have taken anymore without collapsing. Min had to drive down to Ithaca this morning to work. I have this one day off to recover before going out to Frankfort for the week.

Emily is in town this week so we decided to get together and have breakfast this morning at the Omega. We haven’t seen each other in months. She and Craig are in the process of moving to Birmingham, Alabama. Craig has been down there for some time and is just finalizing purchasing a house. Emily is moving down this Friday. Min and I have tons of friends and family in the deep south now. By the end of summer we will have places to visit in Houston, Corpus Christi, Austin, Birmingham and Jacksonville. We can pretty much tour the south seeing different people every few hours.

I spent most of the day relaxing. Not too much going on. Plenty of work to get done so I got what I could out of the way.

Josh and I managed to get a round of golf in this afternoon over in Victor Hills. I beat him by 3 on 9 holes. We had a good time. After golf we ran over to Henrietta to get some dinner and then we went over to Farmingdale so that he could show me the house that he and Joann have an offer in on. They are in a nice location. I couldn’t really see the house because it was pretty dark.
