They play big-time football at Louisiana State University. And so when there were plenty of tickets to buy for last Saturday’s game for their Tigers to face the Orange of Syracuse up north in the Carrier Dome, the fans of Baton Rouge and the Bayou beyond did not hesitate in buying them up and traveling…
A warm walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle around the blocks surrounding the Little Bitty this first week of autumn did not reveal any bright reds or oranges. No, this year the trees of our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood appear to be going straight from green to yellow to brown. I don’t know…
Ben Whittaker has done the travel thing, the exercise thing and the grandpa thing in his retirement world, and none of it is exactly making the 70-year-old widow from Brooklyn happy. Oh, he’s not complaining, mind you, as he faces the camera explaining exactly how he’s gotten to this point in life as we meet…
Brighter minds than mine have come up with some mighty big names for what I just saw in my Syracuse sky. It was not just any old moon this evening, you should know. According to Robert Roy Britt writing on livescience.com, we started with a full moon and raised the ante with a lunar eclipse.…
My trip back in the old Wayback Machine to reminisce about the time my father Frank brought we Bialczaks up to that Polish resort in the Catskills has struck again. I posted The Polish in Me here in May 2014. It stirred up tales, all solid in my memory. Some of the details such as…
September Sundays end today, so it’s our good fortune to again publish Paul Curran’s weekly Cuppa column. Usual host Willow of willowdot21 has been leaving our Canadian friend’s way with words to us here, direct from Canada. On you go, Paul. Trust me, friends, this is a good one … If We Were Having Coffee…
For the past couple of seasons, it’s been comforting to know that a good slice of pie was just steps away from my league play at Bowling Green in North Syracuse. Too rushed to catch dinner with my dear wife Karen, I could visit The Pie Guys. Attached right to the alleys, their little restaurant…
My friend George has a good mind. He wouldn’t let this entire golf season go by without us getting out there for a round. The bridge between summer and fall turned out to be perfect, he with the boys back to school and me with a mid-week morning I could free up from freelance and…
It’s apple-picking time in my home turf of central New York state. Loads of folks gather up the kids or friends and get out there and get their own. Me? I’d rather select a bag or box that somebody else has already rounded up from the orchards. My dear wife Karen and I took a…
It’s over. Yogi Berra left our world, the news show told me this morning. To generations of New Yorkers, the man born Lawrence Peter Berra on May 12, 1925 was forever endearing. For the way he looked, squatted square behind home plate with the gated mask over that likeable mug and lefty stance dangerously over…
