Here comes boating weather

I snuck down closer to the lake after I bought my morning cup of coffee at Nichols earlier this week. No boats yet at the marina. But it sure looks like their time is coming.

Da plane, da plane

Yes, my new iPhone 8 takes great photos. That plane sure looks cool against the blue sky, I thought. Snap. I guess we don’t live THAT close to the airport.

And so we start anew, Let’s Go Mets

The 2018 baseball season starts today. My New York Mets open at home in CitiField against the St. Louis Cardinals. That familiar feeling of hope washes over me again. Can this be our year? From my dear wife Karen and I’s visit to Cooperstown, I bring you a doggone good memory above … And then…

A lake view without ice

With the weather working hard to take us into spring at last, the slice-of-lake view outside A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville has taken on a nicer blue, too. Gone is the ice on top of Onondaga Lake. It makes me feel better, seeing the snow melt and the signs of things…

Trying so hard to sprout

Outside the front door of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, there are signs of spring trying hard to overcome the late snow of March. The contrasts of season capture my fancy. I think you know which I am rooting for after this stretch of cold and bluster. I am ready for…

Yet the new addition in the Atrium area of Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA still managed to drop my jaw. It hangs in the circle of space at the center of the old wing of…

Adding to the gallery

The great shots from George are now framed and hanging in our vacation gallery. The big shot with the invisible frame he took where we stayed in Kona. The smoldering orange came at the big volcano in Hilo. Ahhhh. Hawaii.

Ready for the long rake job

I know how hard my colleagues who handle the custodial work at the Liverpool Public Library work to keep the building in tip-top shape. When I saw the size of the roof rake after the last big snow, I pictured how hard it must be to get that thing up there and scraping. Bravo, Annika…
