It's been 10 years, this week, since I moved away from Buffalo. I still miss it terribly but it was a necessary move. I still try to read the Buffalo News online once or twice a week. More often than not I get depressed by the headlines, but the headline today made me all teary-eyed, in the good way.

Animal Lover Gives Buffalo Police Dogs Their Own Body Armor

It's so hot, too hot for the beginning of May. It's 82 and is supposed to reach 85 at some point today. We only have AC in the bedroom and I'm trying my best not to turn it on and hide in there all day. But it is tempting. It's supposed to cool off a bit tomorrow and I'm hoping it does. I can't stand this weather, it's too hot, too soon. All I want to do is nap, but I can't, I've a list of things I need to do and since Niels is in Qingdao for the weekend I really should get my butt moving, instead I'm reading this week's Economist.
