Don’t feel so sad

This bare tree appears to be sad about the empty marina behind it. Ah, January in Onondaga Lake Park.

Peek-a-boo

There was something about the way the white stump was almost completely hiding out behind the bigger gray tree that caught my fancy. The emergence above the creek almost looks like an animal head to me.

She’s marvelous in I’m Your Woman, though quite unlike Mrs. Maisel

Until my dear wife Karen and I dove into I’m Your Woman on Amazon Prime, I’d only encountered the work of Rachel Brosnahan as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Sure, this tense crime drama set in the 1970s lives on the same streaming platform as the fabulous comedy that made Broshanan quite famous and brought her…

Someday, a seat to watch the steam

Elisabeth and George go meet a tall one

My terrific daughter Elisabeth attached a photo along with her text. She and George went out to … I looked twice. Not Syracuse’s Gifford Zoo. Not the State Fair with its goats. Where oh where did she meet up with this small giraffe? They went to the place in Chittenango, The Wild. George cozied up…

The Prom delivers a message of inclusion … and dancing

What would happen if the no-you-can’t mentality that created the dancing kids back in the days of Footloose took place in a society where social media could spread the word of cloak to a group of repressed-by-the-machine players in the big world? Hold onto your degrees of separation and get ready to pop up from…
