Great angles for baseball

KP and I had to stretch our legs for a bit during the Syracuse Mets-Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders game Thursday night at NBT Bank Stadium. The sun setting over the left field wall sure was pretty as we wound our way toward right field. And the outfielders sure looked alert as we bellied up to the rail…

It’s Mets vs. Yankees for KP and I, kind of

When KP texted to see if I was interested in taking in the Syracuse Mets game against the Yankees’ Triple-A squad, I was all in. We’ve for four decades delighted in our devotion for the New York Mets and New York Yankees, respectively. We honor each other’s fandom. With a bit of trash talk every…

That’s a good egg

A recent Bark Box for our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle was all about breakfast. Fake breakfast toys, mind you. She and I both take a shining to the rather large fried egg. I took a photo on our living room ottoman for scale. Imagine the chicken it would take to produce…

Would those be lights at the lake?

No big feature displays leaning against the trees or ground yet, but I did spot strands up in a small tree at Onondaga Lake Park. It is only five months from the start of Lights on the Lake 2021. Or five months since the conclusion of Lights on the Lake 2020.

Now that’s a pretty moon

Some nights I must try to get the bet iPhone photo of the full moon I possibly can. Like when my dear wife Karen comes back into the house and tells me how beautiful it is outside our house. What side, I ask. Backyard, she answers. Spectacular to the eye. Not bad to the phone…

Walking around Picnics at the Park for my job at the library a bit ago, I was fortunate that the music was being put out by my old friend Colin Aberdeen. He was setting up as I walked toward the library LPL2Go cart, so I stopped for a catch-up chat. Felt wonderful. And he was…

Sit and watch bob

This is the right time of year to sit for a spell and think about life on a boat. It best stays on my mind, me being a landlubber and all, but it’s nice to gaze and admire at the Onondaga Lake Marina.

Ray Brothers BBQ serves us well

We and the kids decided it was time to visit the Ray Brothers BBQ, the increasingly famous joint out in Madison County. It was worth the post-work drive for my dear wife Karen and I Three of us were definitely satisfied with the pulled pork, served Carolina style with cole slaw mixed right in. George…
