Learning to play the guitar again

I have decided that I want to relearn the guitar. I never fully got into playing it before, but I do know some basics. Last night Joe restrung my guitar for me, and then we jammed for a little. I appreciate all his help in my quest to strum with the best of them!

Cinco de Mayo

To celebrate the Cinco de Mayo, we decided to leave the lab for lunch and go get some good food. We were debating whether to do to Don Pablos or TGI Friday's. We figured that Don Pablos would probably be busy on a Mexican holiday, so we went with TGI Friday's. I think it was an excellent choice.


Joe looks hungry

Adam looks excited (this picture was taken through the hole in the head rest of the seat.. haha)

Joe wasn't quite sure if he wanted to go with the Mexican dish, since it was the Cinco de Mayo

Adam wasn't sure what he wanted either

I knew exactly what I wanted (Jack Daniel's Chicken and Shrimp)


We got Spinach Dip as an appetizer

H.M.S. Pinafore

Saturday night I went with some friends to the Lancaster Opera House to see the musical, H.M.S. Pinafore. It was a cute and cheery play with great music. Dr. Atwood's wife Mary was in it as well as Dr. Churchill.

Trip Home

I had a nice trip home this past weekend. I got to see a lot of my family, friends, and loved ones. When I got home, I stopped up to see my sister coaching the Jr. High softball team for a little bit. Then I headed up to UPJ. I got to see a lot of people, and I had a good time up there. The next morning, Ryan and I went fishing (see previous blog). Then I helped Alison move into her new house. That evening, I stopped out to see Erin. I haven't seen her in a while, so that was nice. Sunday morning, I went to church. It was nice to see everyone again. Then it was time to head back to Buffalo.

Fishing

So, I'm back to blogging after an extended absence. Below are pictures from a recent fishing trip I took with Ryan. He is a very talented fly fisherman. We were fishing in Bob's Creek, Pavia, Pa, near Blue Knob. They do not stock fish were we were, so the catches were all natives. Not too bad of a size for native trout. I had a wonderful time, and I can't wait to go again. Supposedly, he is going to teach me how to fly fish this summer. I hope I "catch" on!
