 RH>> Kinda caught in between a rock & a hard place there. I'd have not

 RH>> done much day time hiking either.
 NB>> The roads/streets weren't all that bad, sidewalks for the city and
 NB>> much of the suburbs...  but it was a long enough hike that one had
 NB>> to have time and energy to do it...  I did it a few times, it wasn't
 NB>> too bad, but it did take a long time to get there...  :)  But it
 NB>> certainly wasn't a good thing to have to do regularly...  :)

 RH> Really had to plan your timing to make sure you got to class on time.
 RH> A nice day would make the walk enjoyable (and faster) but a bad weather
 RH> day would drag it out.

I wouldn't have tried to walk it to/from home, even for the old campus,
in bad weather...  The times I did walk, there was lots of flexibility
in the schedule, or it was coming home for the day...  :)

 NB>> Only spatterings...  we don't get all that much lake effect, being
 NB>> on the long side of Lake Ontario instead at one of the ends... and
 NB>> Buffalo gets Lake Erie as well...

 RH> I don't miss the constant snow and cold. This winter has been a very
 RH> long one for the area but I think we're finally beginning to break out
 RH> of it. Unfortunately, that means allergy season will be hitting full
 RH> force soon.

Constant cold doesn't bother me that much... I just settle in and get
used to it... it's the rollercoaster weather that is harder for me... 
Constant snow, in small quantities, gets old eventually, but I don't
mind it for most of the winter... Huge dumps all the time gets old
pretty quick, though.. ;)  But the occasional big dump, that one cleans
out from and then things are fairly easy after, that's ok..  ;)

 RH>> That's what a lot of the guys did had lunch on campus. Others did
 RH>> lunch and supper but not breakfast.
 NB>> Breakfast wasn't all that popular anyway...  :)

 RH> Not if you didn't have an early morning class. I had one, other than
 RH> the J-term sessions, my entire 4 years.
 
Lots of kids with early morning classes found it hard enough to be up in
time for the class, let alone breakfast first... ;)

 RH>> I'd probably play it safe and do the lemon pound cake.
 NB>> You've been talking about that already...  sounds good...

 RH> It is; I made one when we were at the Shipps last year. I use lemon
 RH> yogurt & extract and fresh lemon juice.
 
Nice and lemony... :)

 RH>> Small chunks that are affordable. Also gives us the chance to try one
 RH>> that may or may not be liked, without buying a big piece only to find
 RH>> we don't like it. They also put out a lot of samples of their hard
 RH>> cheeses on a rotating basis--that's how I found I like the cave aged
 RH>> gruyere. (G)
 NB>> That's a good deal, then...

 RH> Yes, so when Steve can drive again, I want to make a trip down to
 RH> Whole Foods. Got some other things I want to get down there as well.

Nobody to take you there in the interim, then...?
