Nice holiday feel
My cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I discovered a neat lineup for today’s holiday on a walk around our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Nice work, neighbors.
It takes a village no matter the size
A walk around our the blocks of our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville with my dear wife Karen and our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle revealed a front-yard village that we won’t replicate at A Bitty Better. But I will admire it from the street, for sure. Gnome sweet gnome!
So they brought back Halloween, with all of its grisly glory
It’s A-OK that director David Gordon Green chose to pretend that all those other Halloweens never happened. When you have the original pair dreamed up by John Carpenter and Debra Hill four decades go, horror fans don’t need the turns the franchise took in the nine films thereafter. So the world gets Jamie Lee Curtis…
Can you hear the bells?
As we walk on our work breaks along the shore trail at Onondaga Lake Park, we’re reminded day by day … Yes, the entrance booths went up on Friday. Soon it will be time for the annual Lights on the Lake. Thursday, Nov. 15 is the first drive-through date, for those of you keeping score…
Appreciating the big sky look in autumn
When you see it’s pretty, you have to take the photo with your smart phone. This autumn sky has a fun zone for kids set up in the foreground, begging for the attention of my iPhone 8.
Dang, they easily make the hard cider look tasty
I’ve tried hard cider during a trip with my dear wife Karen, my sister-in-law Lynne and brother-in-law Chuck to the big orchard Beak & Skiff. They make it right there from their own apples and serve it in their own saloon. Everything about the tasting on a crisp October afternoon pointed toward a pleasant experience.…
Let’s Go Syracuse Mets
I must admit this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a professional baseball team holding a garage sale. So I agree to meet my terrific daughter Elisabeth and her sensational significant George Three at NBT Bank Stadium to see what the former Syracuse Chiefs had on the market as they make the change…
A cardinal spotting during our work break walk
During a recent work break walk, I finally was quick enough grabbing my iPhone 8 out of my pocket when my colleagues exclaimed that they had spotted a pretty bird. Darn right that cardinal is attractive. Can you spot him on the branch?
Golf was interesting this year
So I learned a lot about my golf game this year. The golf league at Foxfire provided an education for KP and I. I never felt like it was the place to take out the iPhone 8 to take photos during league play. That serious, yes. At least that’s the way I interpreted it. We…
Chappaquiddick provides a hard look at what the Kennedys could do
Ted Kennedy may have been ready to presidentially emerge from that enormous family sibling shadow come the fall of 1969. Or not. In Chappaquiddick, director John Curran takes the screenplay of Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan and revisits the series of events that took place out on Cape Cod the summer of 1969 and how…
