And it’s fifth place for the Limp Lizard squad

The finish for the second half of the season in the Thursday Night Men’s League at Bowling Green in North Syracuse is in. Our Limp Lizard squad finished fifth out of 12 teams. We went into the final week of league play in a position night, rolling against the very good Creno and Kelly team.…

Life imitates art imitates life

I received the text above from my dear wife Karen. She thought the dog involved looked an awful lot like Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle when she perches herself by the kitchen window of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville when she hears my car pull into the driveway.

Welcome back from Florida, my dear wife

My dear wife Karen returned from her annual Girls Getaway trip at the end of last week, so I took on half day from my job at the library. We took advantage of the warm spring Friday and went back to the Village of Liverpool for a sunny sit outside The Retreat. We sat at…

There’s a coming-out spring party in the backyard of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I still don’t quite know what these perennial plants are going to be. More stuff is coming up out front, too. These particular plants were out of the ground a month ago. Then came a big snow…

First lunch down by the lake is pretty darn early

Mark it down. I picked my lunch bag up from under my desk yesterday and walked the two blocks down from my job at Liverpool Public Library. And it was good on the sunny noontime of Monday, April 10, 2017. Many folks were enjoying the spring day, with the sun shining and temperature well into…
