15 Hiding out in the brand new "little room" in the children's section at the public library. It is covered with beautiful new murals.
14 Watching the Ultimate Summer League championship game in Cass Park. (The Udders won handily, 13-7. Moo.)
13 Walking to stuff; half our favorite things to do are walking distance from our house.
12 Eating wings and watching the game at Uncle Joe's.
11 Looking for fossils along the edge of Cayuga Lake.
10 Muffins at the Smart Monkey Cafe. They are even better than the ones at Peet's which Exploding Poptart has been pining for. Better yet, they are just down the street from Exploding Poptart's new job!
9 Sandwiches at the Shortstop Deli. Try a large "Sui" (short for suicide) and don't forget that Truck Sauce.
8 Visit Museum of the Earth. Now a veteran of Fossil Camp, Wuggy Norple loves to give tours to friends and family.
7 Walking through the Cornell Plantations. Exploding Poptart and Godmamma Q got their first tour this weekend. Wow.
6 Random free cultural events like Jonah Bokaer's Informal Dance Showing of Invention of Minus Onen, brought to a sweaty and grateful crowd in a community center gymnasium. Exploding Poptart says she hasn't seen dancers that good in at least a decade. She thinks that one guy takes yoga...
5 Listening to local band IY get those hippie chicks groovin. (Also, watching the hippie chicks ~groove~)
4 Running in Cass Park, a nice smooth waterfront trail where Exploding Poptart can make her morning run through the wildflowers, past the marina and Children's Garden.
3 Drinkin' Horny Gingeritas or Pineapple Basil-Tinis at Felicia's (not Wuggy Norple, of course).
2 Watching crayfish crawl on the rocks in Six Mile Creek.
1 Chillin with the family (we suddenly have so much of it!).

it's great getting a visual of the much-loved Shortstop Deli, plus where EP runs and other frequent sights.
i found myself looking at the address of the muffin place and imagining EP saying the street name in her head, Elmira. i'm not sure why. to be in your shoes maybe? to get a feeling for the environment, so as to keep up with your daily lives, and keep a sense of closeness, i suppose. weird, this brain.
xo
Oh, it's on Elmira, is it? I'll say that in my head right now...
