When our hometown Syracuse Chiefs set off their post game fireworks, the pretty pyro takes place from behind the center-field fence. Which I always thought was good and proper as my dear wife Karen and wonderful daughter Elisabeth and fantastic significant George Three have enjoyed many Triple-A fireworks displays and left NBT Bank Stadium very…
Remember when you were lost, swimming in teen angst, and when you put on a record that black spinning vinyl acted like an oval orange lifesaver? John Carney surely does. The writer and director of Sing Street sweetly shares those tumultuous feelings with a 1-hour, 46-minute treat that’s part drama, part comedy, part musical and…
In the National League East, my New York Mets and the Washington Nationals have a rivalry going. My dear wife Karen and I were glad it was the team from our nation’s capital that would be in the other dugout when we drove down from Syracuse with terrific daughter Elisabeth and outstanding significant George Three…

My dear wife Karen and I had planned for more than a month to drive down from Syracuse with terrific daughter Elisabeth and…
After Syracuse handily one its first game of this 2016 college football season, first-year coach Dino Babers asked all fans to wear the home squad’s name color for Saturday’s game against Atlantic Coast Conference rival Louisville. By goodness, after wearing blue jerseys against the Raiders in game one, even the home team obliged by wearing…
Saturday’s work assignment: Capture patrons who loved all things Star Trek enough to attend the 50th anniversary celebration at the Liverpool Public library. I posted photographs and a video from the scavenger hunt, movie screening, book signing and other activities carefully planned by my cool colleagues the librarians all over our social media platforms while…
How’d you like it if you just pulled off the most miraculous move of your career, in the front of the clenched-shut eyes of 153 souls and most likely wide-open eyes of their highest Power, just to have your judgment-makers on a smug bureaucratic panel insist you made the wrong decision?
