Here's a posting from Buffalo Rising which details all the development going on downtown. http://www.buffalorising.com/city/archives/002786print.php
Saturday I was helping Jay move from his old apartment when I fell down 3 stairs and twisted my ankle. The ER docter told me it wasn't broken, it was just a sprain. She did give me crutches and a special boot to wear. I have been out of work since Monday. I go to the docter for a follow up today, we'll see what happens.

I was working on the computer and noticied how beautiful the Main Street skyline looked so I went on the roof and just took this picture. Sure it's a bit blurry, but it's night time and 20 degrees.

Me and Jay went to see Dame Edna last night at Shea's. What a riot! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I highly recommend going to see her.
