Microfilm

I know what you're thinking, this is an adventure blog, so why is he writing about microfilm? Well, let me explain, I was at the library today doing some research on the City Flag for a video at work when I ran across the front page of the newspaper the day I was born. Maybe that doesn't constitute an adventure, but it's kind of cool anyway.

Everyone always told me that it snowed on my birthday (April 14, 1980), but somehow it just didn't seem real. So it was interesting to see the front page describe an irregular snow in mid-April. I scanned the article so everyone could see it too. Also, notice the very top...Cards Falter. You don't know how happy it makes me to read that!

When the women are away the boys will....cook?


Since Jerilyn is gone until Tuesday I thought it would be proper to cook up some "man food" around here. So I broke out the deep fryer and cooked me up some buffalo wings and fries. It's not very often that I use the deep fryer cause it sinks up the house so much, but I figured I'm the only one that will have to suffer. Once again I used the all knowing Joy of Cooking cookbook. They had the original recipe from the bar that actually invented buffalo wings in Buffalo, New York. The only thing that I could tell that was different was you use 2 Tbps red wine vinegar with the sauce mixture.

While I was at it, I sliced up a couple potatoes and made some fries to go along with the wings. Not too bad if I say so myself.

I'll leave you with a picture of something else us boys have been doing a lot of this weekend, sleeping.
