Trip across the state

In the past week and change I have been across the state of New York.  Here were my destinations:

1. Buffalo, NY Friday July 11th for an iPhone
2. Victor, NY Sunday July 13th for gas
3. Binghamton, NY Sunday July 13th on my way to Albany
4. Oneonta, NY Sunday July 13th for lunch/dinner at Brooks BBQ
5. Albany, NY Monday July 14th – Friday July 18th for a class
6. Oneonta, NY Wednesday July 16th for lunch and to visit people
7. Latham and Troy, NY Thursday July 17th for dinner and exploring
8. Schenectady, NY Friday July 18th for dinner
9. Cicero, NY Saturday July 19th for a party
10. Syracuse, NY Saturday July 19th to stay at a friend’s place
11. Rochester, NY Sunday July 20th on my way back home

It’s been a week.  I really missed my own bed when I returned home.  I’m glad to be back in Rochester, but being away from home had me wondering about certain questions.  Perhaps I’ll blog about it later.

15 miles on the Erie Canal

Who remembers this song?  Well, I grew up in a town on the Erie Canal (well, just north of one, but my school district was on the other side).  I remember learning this song (perhaps you know it as “Low Bridge”) and signing it in grade school chorus.

In grad school, I lived at the western end of the canal, Buffalo, and now I live closer to the eastern end, Albany.  What’s the point of this post? The song popped into my head and I wanted to see how many people knew it.  Comment on this song or any other famous songs that you remember signing growing up.
