Although I was born in Boston, I have lived most of my life here in the Buffalo area. I must like it then, huh? The winters are great here. Since I bought a snow blower a couple of years ago, I've barely had a chance to use it. You know, guys have a special relationship with their "toys". If only I could have the same luck with my lawn mower. Went to Amherst Central High School, home of the Tigers (not to be confused with the Bengals. They're from Buff State. I didn't go there, but I managed to graduate from UB; communications is a tad easier than med school). I'll see you down the road. Peace out.
