Ali Aboard for Funtime

Today is the start of a seriously enjoyable weekend for me and for Val, beginning with the Buffalo Sabres starting their NHL season by hosting the Montreal Canadians at 7:35 p.m. at the HSBC Arena.
The weekend will also feature Val, Walker Evans and I visiting Letchworth State Park for our annual fall trip to it on the Buffalo Bills' bye week; Columbus Day, a day off for me but not Val (and an annoying afternoon Sabres' game), and my birthday mixed in the fray.
Don't fret, I'll be here throughout the weekend to let you know how things go, regardless of your concern.
