Free Martha! That was then, now's she's free.

...one October morning in Connecticut

In your Best Paul Lynde impersonation.

An early comical genius with coy wit and timing, Paul Lynde firmly held down the Squares of Hollywood. Here are some classic Hollywood Squares Q & A's

Q: Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
A: Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.

Q: If you were pregnant for two years, what would you give birth to?
A: Paul Lynde: Whatever it is, it would never be afraid of the dark.

Q: It is the most abused and neglected part of your body - what is it?
A: Paul Lynde: Mine may be abused but it certainly isn't neglected!

Q: Do female frogs croak?
A: Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.

Q: Imagine you are a child in your mother's womb, can you detect light?
A: Paul Lynde: Only during ballet practice

and, my favorite:
Q: Who stays pregnant for a longer period of time, your wife or your
elephant?
A: Paul Lynde: Who told you about my elephant?

nervous energy.

Okay, to be honest, I could not be more excited to host fallfest this year...part of me (okay, MOST of me) is nervous, but definitely excited to share our fun little world with the folks that mean the most to us...Rochester is (in my humble opinion) a great gem in Upstate New York.

I'm starting to gather ideas for the weekend; anything from a hike along Lake Ontario's Sodus Bay to a tour of Kodak founder George Eastman's estate, now a museum.

Traditions will be kept alive and started anew, all at the same time. The only constant that matters most for the weekend is having the folks that do indeed matter most; you.

Definitely keep checking back to this off-the-cuff blog. I'm hoping to update this site on a more regular basis, hoping to get as much feedback from you as possible!

Hope the late winter is treating you all delightfully!

Rochester hangs hopes on purchase of high-speed ferry

The city of Rochester has taken ownership of the once-struggling ferry; originally launched last summer and running for only three months before succumbing to a poor business plan, the city purchase is great news for the further development of the city's port and tourism industries.

With the hope that the ferry will *once again* run its designated course, a trip to Toronto can always be a fun option for the weekend of festivus de fall. A cruise 'cross Lake Ontario is always fun in good company...here's a good link with Toronto's current activity.
