Niagara Falls

I've never been to Niagara Falls. I've also never been so cold in my entire life. Buffalo is cold. Pretty darn cold. Getting sprayed by the Falls and having ice cubes (literally) form on your coat is a whole different level of cold. But still, it was an absolutely incredible sight to see. So glad we decided to go. Worth the temporary loss of feeling in my ears.

Went out to dinner in downtown Buffalo before going to Owen's apartment with Arthur. Venus joined us after his concert. Owen's friends are masters at deep frying food and they also have the world's most entertaining dog. Pretty lovely night. Missed Owen lots.

"Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
-Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
