Is there a hole in this cool-looking donut shop’s aura?

The custom donut shop practically screamed our names as my dear wife Karen and I headed down Clinton Street in downtown Syracuse. Glazed and Confused. We’d heard so much about it. We had to go in and look around. Their product smelled great and looked interesting. Hover over a gallery photo for a description. Click…

Picture yourself in a Beatle-less world if you could

A lot of really bad things could happen if all the power in the world went out at once. But the memory of all Beatles music being wiped from the collective minds and history of our planet except for one guy who happened to be hit by a bus … No, that that! Yesterday starts…

Now we’re blooming

What did we spy upon our return from our Cape Cod vacation but … Backyard lilies that could not contain themselves. A hostas plant the size of an elephant’s head. White backing up the red in the front of the house. My dear wife Karen’s hard work surely pays off.

We did have a beverage or two

We can’t just eat at all the same places

The little restaurant at a crucial Cape Cod corner always caught our eye. My dear wife Karen decided that this would be the year we’d finally stop in to try the food at The Wee Packet. Breakfast was the meal of choice. Irish music played non-stop. Before choosing my meal, I discovered we were in…

We had to walk on the beach in the window

Thank goodness for the cap of good and proper timing. When a little opening in the clouds came during our Cape Cod trip, away to the beach we went. Our usual public beach had its familiar sights. My dear wife Karen was happy to feel at home. No matter that she grew up on the…

A reluctant dog accepts her ice cream

Our location on the ocean side of the main road for this year’s Cape Cod stay made it a fairly easy walk for the three of us to our favorite ice cream place, Sundae School. Our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B and I got to admire the old way they delivered the stuff as my…
