Saturday night after me a my friend Darrell went to the movies we walked around downtown a bit. There was a lot of foot traffic. Here I am at Rotary Rink @ Fountain Plaza.

I spent a lot of time updating and adding features to my blog. I added a new banner with a winter skyline picture of Buffalo, I added a new opinion poll, a "This Day In History" gadget, and some of my favorite links. I hope you like the changes!

Me and a bunch of friends went out last night, the biggest party night of the year in Buffalo. Here's me and my friend Chris in the photo booth.

My old phone went bonkers right after I got back from Virginia and I was "forced" to get a new iPhone. All I can say is, this thing rocks!

I spent a long weekend in Richmond, Virginia visiting my friend Jay and his puppy, Jackson.

On my first day there we visited some of the sites of Richmond National Battlefield Park. Here's Beaver Dam Creek Battlefield, the sight of a fierce civil war battle.

The Beavers are busy at Beaver Dam Creek.

After the parks visits we walked around the James River waterfront in downtown Richmond. This cool pedestrian suspension bridge takes you to Belle Isle underneath a highway bridge.

The view of downtown Richmond from the isle.

Belle Isle is right in downtown Richmond is a nice retreat from urban life.

My second day we spent wondering around downtown Richmond checking out the amazing architecture and sites. Here's the Virginia State Capital building (c. 1785) designed by Thomas Jefferson.

A beautiful state office building.

Whether you are gay or a friend of the gay community join thousands of others in a national protest for LGBTQ rights this Saturday, November 15th. A rally will be held locally (Buffalo) at Bidwell Park at 1:30 p.m. Check out jointheimpact.wetpaint.com for more information.

My friend Jeff who lives in D.C. premiered his new gay travel web site called outadvisor.com. Take some time to look around the site.

It's official, Barack Obama is President Elect of the United State of America! WOO HOO!!!!!!

I voted today, have you? Get out there. I highly recommend voting for Barack Obama, all the cool kids are doing it!

This year I pulled every lever for Democrats. Go Barack!

My polling place, the recently remodeled, stunning, Hutch Tech High School building on Elmwood Avenue downtown.

Update: U.S. Federal Court House on Niagara Square. Taking shape!

I have long wanted to stop and take pictures of these Buffalo but I haven't because they are in a precarious spot where the I-90 & I-190 meet. Well today I had my camera right next to me in the front seat and pulled over and took them, finally!

Update: 700 block of Main Street. Sidewalks are in, the median is in, and concrete has been poured. Woo Hoo!

These markers have been added to the freshly poured concerete on the sidewalks in front of my building.
