Liam Neeson careens into a rail of trouble in The Commuter

What would the action-thriller with the pinch of drama be without the steady presence of a Liam Neeson flick? His daughter was Taken and the response to his CIA agent Bryan Mills was such that he and his wife are hostages in the sequel and then he himself is accused of murder in installment three.…

Looks cool to me

At the corner of Clinton Square stands a new joint. New to me, anyway. It’s been awhile since I’ve closely looked around the great spot in downtown Syracuse. Polish Fest gave us that opportunity. And a new storefront welcomed folks for cones, sundaes and more. Hover over a gallery photo for a description. Click on…

I come in peace, mom

The little ones were very, very cute. The mother was very, very protective. I had to interrupt our work break walk by snapping photos with my iPhone 8. Nobody got hurt.

Are you blue?

Gutter guy Joe Bury left us a clue to the past of A Bitty Better when he repaired our underlying problem in the backyard of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. My dear wife Karen and I looked at the aftermath and decided that in decades past, our house may indeed have…

We’re hoping we’ve got the gutter thing fixed

The gutter in the back of A Bitty Better wasn’t working well, even though it was one of the fixes we’d pointed out before we bought the place in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville.

You, Tonya, were definitely a handful

The story still seems too strange to be true. Too scandalous to be sports, especially back in 1994. But if you decide to get hold of the Blu-Ray for Margot Robbie’s treatment of I, Tonya, you mostly likely won’t be able to take your eyes off it. Why this, I thought when it was about…

A model place for hats and sunglasses

A new joint at Syracuse mega entertainment, dining and shopping complex Destiny USA caught my attention on the latest shopping stroll for my dear wife Karen and I. How could I not stick my head in to check out a place called Panama Jack? OK, more than just my head. They sell hats and sunglasses.…

A hairy situation

You can talk about your dog shedding. And then you can show what George’s wrist brace looked like after out cherished rescue mutt forced herself next to him on the couch in A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville for, say, a couple of hours. Thank you to terrific daughter Elisabeth for texting…
