Last Saturday my dear wife Karen and I walked the aisles of Chuck Hafner’s Garden Center in North Syracuse for more than an hour, and I was a lot closer to getting bushed than I was to getting bored. Every year we take the drive from our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood to North Syracuse…
During Syracuse dining week in February, I wrote about the fine dining meal that my dear wife Karen and I shared our friends David, Theresa and Althea at 317 at Montgomery. I was bummed because the lighting was too dim for any of the pictures I took of our dining partners to be usable for…
In my day, the SUNY Morrisville journalism classes were spread through many different campus buildings. Charlton Hall. The Library. Lab-Class. The Little Theatre in the Student Activity Center, even, with those fold-over mini-desks in the very spot where the Friars put on their most excellent drama productions. No wonder I still get hit with that…
By the end of “The Other Woman,” everybody in the theater cheers the way things shake down. Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton sure make a good team against the cad who decided he wanted them all at the same time. Mann is the star of this show, using the physical comedy skills that…
We knew when we purchased the potted blue spruce in December and proclaimed it our side porch Christmas tree that we wanted to put the baby in the ground after the ornaments were packed away and spring thaw arrived here in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. Here’s the pre-Christmas post where I shared the…
Why would an alt-country band from Montreal be a favorite over the border, way down yonder in Syracuse, N.Y.? Further, why would this four-piece golden outfit love to play in Syracuse so much? Those questions were answered emphatically Sunday night in Shifty’s, the neighborhood bar that opens its corner stage to live music five nights…
I consider myself told off. And I’m not too thrilled about it. Earlier this week, I wrote about the bad dinner experience for four of us at The Cheesecake Factory at the Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA. It generated a fair amount of commenting here on WordPress and on my Facebook…
Our front yard Robinson flowering crabapple survived its first winter in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. The snow, the cold, the wind, the snow, the snow, the cold … our little beauty is entering its second growing season with us in good health. I see the buds to prove it. Lots of bus, from…
I have been worrying about my backyard neighbor’s two enormous pines long enough and hard enough to post two stories about my state of fret. The last time we visited my world of fears, many of you kind friends suggested that I get up off the recliner and do something about it. I called the…
Two weeks ago my dear wife Karen and I hopped on a limo-bus hybrid for a group tour of five Cayuga Lake wineries and vineyards. I chronicled the adventure in words and photos here. I promised a couple more pictures. There you go. I also promised that I’d reveal which wines I liked best when…
