Eric and Nurse Tiffany (my brother and sister-in-law) came up to Rochester for a visit. They both work unconventional hours, so they seldom have time off together. As always, it was great to see them and we had a lot of fun.

  Monday night, we went out to the Old Toad and Mex. I saw a lot of people out on the town. I am not going to mention any names, but I think we may have to conduct some interventions for all these people out on a school night. After the bar scene, we sat out in front off my house and had a couple of Miller High Lifes, otherwise known as "the Champagne of Beers".

  I took the day off Tuesday so we could hang out. My plan to sleep in was foiled when I was awoken at 8:00 am by the upstairs neighbor’s smelly dog, repeatedly dropping a ball on the floor right above my bed. I had visions of feeding D-Con meatballs to both the dog and the owner. Thankfully, she has been evicted, so I won’t have to hear or smell either of them after the end of he month.

  After everyone got up, we got our bagel on at Brugglerz. It was such a nice day that we took a long walk around Park Ave. We stopped by Stever’s Candies and purchased some supplies for the long walk. While we were walking, Eric and Tiffany were asked to be in a Time Warner commercial. After their acting debut, they thought they were movie stars and it was hard to get them to snap back to reality. Next, we headed over to the Eastman House and took the tour. The highlight of the Eastman House was the photo booth that created the pictures on the left. I love photo booths, and there aren’t too many functional ones around. Now that I know where one is, I will be dragging some of my friends there against their will. After the Eastman House, it was off to Dinosaur Barbecue for some beef and pork product. Then, we finished the night off at my place with a couple of bottles of wine and a couple of movies.

  Fran was working at Element K the entire time. She worked from 8:30 am Tuesday until 1:00 am on Wednesday. There is some serious slave-driving going on over there.

  Eric and Tiffany slept in a little today and left after I went to work. I need to go home and take an inventory of all my shit and make sure they didn’t steal anything. (I just did a spell check, and I am only writing at a sixth grade Flesch-Kincaid level. I suck. EDITOR'S NOTE: aka, note from Fran - Now that I edited this file, this blog is at a 6.1 grade level. Not too shabby.)
