Family Thing Update
I told yous guys about the family thing I am planning.
It has been finalized.
We are all going up the one of the Finger Lakes (Conesus Lake), where my older sister has a house. We are renting a second one.
The very best part is that my brother has a son that has been a bit estranged from the family. I got to spend time with him last year, many in my family have not seen him in close to 20 years. He will be with us for the week.
I am more than excited.

We do this on Cayuga Lake, too. Ithaca usually has its Independence Day fireworks a couple days early, to save money.peacock2121 wrote:They do this thing on the 4th of July (we will be there then), where all of the people who have houses on the lake, at a certain hour, light flares. The entire lake is rimmed with lights. Michelle says that even now, 10 years since the first time she saw it, it takes her breath away.
I am excited.

How far are you from Conesus Lake?MarleysGh0st wrote:It's true!peacock2121 wrote:To save money!
You live in the right place, marley.
The fireworks haven't been the same for me, though, since they stopped having them at Cornell's Schoelkopf Stadium. Just because they had to erect a new building in the way.
Wanna take a day trip and meet the family from which I came?

That's the westernmost of the Finger Lakes, probably about 2 hours drive from here. It'd be shorter if all the other lakes weren't in the way.peacock2121 wrote: How far are you from Conesus Lake?

I think I might be able to risk a visit.
Let's talk about it again when the time gets closer.

Yeah. They used to set the fireworks off in a practice field behind the stadium. The new building--the computer science department's "Theory Center"--is too close to that for safety.ulysses5019 wrote:They stopped the fireworks because of a new building?The fireworks haven't been the same for me, though, since they stopped having them at Cornell's Schoelkopf Stadium.

Cornell administrators are just a bunch of spoilsports.
