Today we are going with a couple friends to Spot coffee for lunch. We have to get up early tomorrow as we're going to the Buffalo sabers game. They play Carolina at 1:00. We go early because I like to have breakfast and hang out at Tim Hortons for a bit before the game.

In my opinion that is an obvious choice. However in today's world nothing seems to be that simple. Hey Billy recognize the world today.

We watched this wicked movie last night. The music was wonderful I think everything about it was wonderful. This is a movie everybody should see although I recommend you watch part 1 first if you have not already seen it.

Tonight we are going to watch the Buffalo Sabres game at Brick oven Pizzeria & Pub . They have really good pizza and it is a great place to watch a game once in a while. The paratransit is picking us up a little after 3:30.

At 1:00 Nancy's tutor from Temple learning a Torah is coming. Later, we are going to the brick oven Pizza sports bar on Grand Island. We're going to watch the Buffalo sabers game tonight from there. The team has been very inconsistent.

Probably because they don't have a case. This is all political theater.
🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.

This does not surprise me one bit. But it is obvious it happened. They can hide it all they want the judge is not stupid.
BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

I was surprised what happened in Texas. I thought it was a done deal. I can't wait until the midterms.
Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

The Buffalo sabers are playing the Calgary flames tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Buffalo. I will not be there but I will be watching it on TV. With our Captain back we're playing much better again. If we win tonight we will be at 500. Are any of you going to be watching the sabers game tonight?

I have a routine doctor appointment I am attending today for myself. I forgot to take our dinner out of the freezer so we're going to go to a tropical smoothie for dinner. Everything there is healthy so I can at least be guilt free.

On Thursday we are going to see the opening of the movie wicked. It is part two and will conclude the story. How many of you are going to watch this movie eventually as it looks like it's going to be really good.

We need way more of this. If you see an ice raid bring out your phones turn on your cameras and record them. Be respectful but also be verbal so they know that you are recording them.

Today Nancy has her physical therapy. Says if we have I will listen to my audiobook while she does her therapy. On the way home we're stopping at Pizza Hut to get a couple meat lovers melts. Then they are having an activity in a community room of our building called fun night.

I give her a lot of credit for this. My question is whether this change is because she is trying to be good or the fact that it will benefit her political career. Regardless of the reasoning I hope maybe some of the other Republicans will join.
