I will be working at the library’s annual book sale before heading out to the Syracuse football game against Connecticut at the Carrier Dome today.

So my dear wife Karen and I were quite pleased to hear it when the start time was announced two weeks ago. (These mid-season decisions to please TV are tiresome, game-goers, are they not?)

We were thrilled that it was not another noon start. That would have been a no-go for me.

Besides, tailgating for noon games can bring interesting choices.

Urp.

I took advantage of a good sale of light Mexican beer at Nichols on Friday and Karen pulled through Mickey D’s before we got to our favored parking lot down the hill to allow me to complete my Sol-ful breakfast burrito combo.
