It took a while, but temps are finally settling reliably into the 80s this week. After a fun picnic on Saturday, I realized how many cool things we’ve already done this summer, with a whole month and a half yet to go.

Here’s a little slide show of the Demay Family Summer of ‘09 so far, as Matt Wertz sings, “Everything’s Right.”

Life is Short

Posted in: Life

By now everyone has heard about the crash of Continental Flight 3407 in Clarence, last night. Buffalo is often described as the biggest small town in America, with only 3 degrees of separation between everyone in the community, instead of the usual 6 degrees. While most of us may not know anyone personally on board that flight, we all know at least someone who does, and that makes this day especially hard for all of us, as a community.

Heartfelt condolences to the friends and family of the 50 who died. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. You’re in our prayers. Click here if you need information from Continental about what you can do.
And complete support and thanks to the emergency crews who worked through the night, battling winter cold and extreme heat. There is no happy ending for these people, in a tragedy such as this.
The WBEN News Team mobilized almost the instant they heard about what happened. The members of our sister station worked without sleep bringing the latest news, and have since set up on location in Clarence to keep us completely informed. I think we take for granted that there is such an incredible resource in our city, always there when needed.
Check out the latest coverage here.

A day like today shows us again how life can change in an instant.

Our little baby girl started kindergarten this week. Like many parents, we watched her get on the bus for the first time, and then followed the bus to school. Like many parents, it was a momentous occasion for us – the ending of one era, and the beginning of another. For Darcy, it was a brief pause, a wave, a smile, and no big deal.

No, it was a very big deal. Our little baby wasn’t a baby anymore.

But we will always remember.

The amount of snow we got this weekend would undoubtedly have shut down the state of Virginia for a week. The Governor would have declared a state of emergency. My former radio station would have gone full-on “SnowWatch” mode, with wall-to-wall closings and cancellation info.

Here in Western New York, there isn’t a single school closing to report at the moment. We knew snow was coming, we prepared for it, we dealt with it, life continues unabated. Southerners, take note: you can actually have fun when it snows!

Back to work tomorrow,
