  Monday began bright and early at 6:30 AM. My flight was scheduled to depart at 9:10. I was saddened that I had to leave the presence of my dear friend Dawn. I eased the pain of her loss with a Bacon, egg, and cheese muffin and hash browns from McDonald's (the #2 breakfast value meal).
The beverage I selected was coffee. At the Buffalo airport, I was greeted by my dear Uncle Larry and my dearest grandmother Lucille. We enjoyed roast beef on weck at Charlie the Butcher's for lunch. Then I returned to the chemistry lab to catch some of my fellow chemists hard at work. My good buddy urlLink Frigid Waters started a blog after being inspired by me, and I documented this joyous event by photographing it. Monday night I spent a good two hours updating my blog. At this poing, blogs are anything but wonderful. But life is wonderful. And joyous.
