Sometimes the meal is just right. After all that dissing I had to do about our awful first dinner at the Syracuse Cheesecake Factory last weekend, it’s only right that I point out how good dinner was last night at Spinning Wheel in North Syracuse. The occasion was our yearly bowling banquet, where all 60…
What a beautiful day to play golf in Syracuse, N.Y., you might say to yourself after looking at the photo I snapped with my iPhone 4 looking out over the 10th fairway at Foxfire Golf Club this afternoon. Yes, the sky was a shocking blue. Yes, the grass was a vibrant green. But the wind…
The Syracuse New Times unveiled its new page design style earlier this month. And editor Larry Dietrich decided he wanted me to take a different approach for my Thursday film blog to help punch up the page dedicated to the big screen. Goodbye weekend movie advances. Hello me commenting about things I find odd and…
Damn, I miss these guys. A month back, I laid out the timeline through my life of nicknames, and Aggo, Twenty and Shaudy all made major appearances. How could they not? I’ve known Mike Agostino since we both were in the eighth grade. And that would have been in 1970. He and I only went…
The Cheesecake Factory adventure played out at last as we celebrated my wonderful daughter Elisabeth’s birthday this past weekend at the Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA. We’d been waiting to experience this new franchise, the four of us, since our failed attempt to eat dinner there the Saturday of its opening…
I thought it was a most excellent idea when super British blogger Suzie81 Speaks declared she was starting her Weekly Word Challenge with this popular word of late. Happy. Easy one for me. My dear wife Karen makes me happy every day. She makes me happy when she points during the Knapp stop on our…

Add two weeks, four days to opening day. Add 25 degrees to the temperature. Subtract 5,000 fans. What I enjoyed with my good friends Dave and Steven T. was a noontime baseball game at NBT Banks Stadium, the home field for the Syracuse Chiefs, in 75-degree and sunny weather. The grass was inarguably greener than…
The film studio bigwigs who released ‘Heaven Is for Real’ this particular weekend knew what they were doing. My dear wife Karen and I watched with appropriate wonder on Easter proper. Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly and Connor Corum are fabulous as Nebraska Todd Burpo, his wife and their smart 4-year-old. It’s a true story, which…
