Buffaloooooooooooooooo! :)
No I am not chanting for the cold and windy city in upstate New York; and no I'm not overly fond of the western plains animal known for its face on the old nickels. Buffalo has become the tribal call of all things Keene. Yes, you read that correctly. If my family feels the need to locate each other and/or wake up sleepy parents they simply call out "Buffalo!" This funny and heartwarming tradition started over a late night card game fueled by a little too much alcohol and happily has stuck. Recently on a family beach vacation everyone but me went on an afternoon deep sea fishing expedition. As the boat passed our resort I looked up from my poolside chair when I heard a loud and proud group of eight yelling "BUFFALO" just for me. My heart swelled, I smiled at the love, and proudly returned our new family chant. I love my family. <3
