I am in the hopping burg of Stamford -- it actually is pretty hopping. So many people at the hotel for this thing! Elevator doors decorated with big crossword grids. Cute!

We had a delicious and delightful dinner with Vortex, Laura & DH, Brenda, Jesse, Javachik, and me at an Albanian restaurant right near the hotel (thanks for finding that, Javachik!), and now it's bedtime. A good night's sleep before the big competition, dontchaknow.

I'll post pictures in the FB group.

Our wings are not tired.

There is a certain comfort level and warmth when gathering with Buffistas. Lazily drinking coffee this morning and sending ~ma to the competitors. Thank you Jen for making it happen!

There is a Hands Off protest march here today from Mill River Park to the WWE Headquarters. My legs won't take me that distance so I am considering my options. The number one reason for my commitment to diet this time is my inability to walk any distance. I used to be able to walk 26.2 miles! Now I can do about a quarter mile. When I drop the weight my joints will be forever grateful. I'll be sure to go to the gym here and do my PT.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I keep saying I want to go to the crossword competition, but I never get organized enough to actually do it.

There's a protest downtown today, but there's also a ton of rain, and the river is predicted to flood, and I think I'm going to have to sit this one out.

In awful news, my brother's eldest son was just arrested after a big drug bust. Several agencies, couple hundred thousand in drugs, 886K cash found in his home and storage. WTF, man! That is a new level of stupid. I expect his 25 year old son was clueless. At least I hope so. I can't imagine his wife didn't know what was up. He was the only one listed as arrested. Just happened so I don't know anything except what the police department posted on their FB page, which my sister and brother follow.
