Delicious donut, yes

My dear wife Karen and I criss-crossed the lines of the New York State Fair midway until we found the Peacheys stand. On their earlier trip, terrific daughter Elisabeth had mid-fair texted that their glazed donut was the best thing she’d eaten from any of the food groups. High praise, you think? We went to…

Bye-bye, Elton John, thank you for these decades

I waved farewell to Elton John on Saturday night in Syracuse. Tears came to my eyes after a joyful 150-minute ride through five decades of his unforgettable songs. My dear wife Karen and I had waited two years since I purchased the tickets online. They had cost a pretty penny. So we did the day…

I’ll stay down here, thank you

My dear wife Karen and I spied people hanging out up high and waiting for stuff down below as we walked amid the Midway crowds at the New York State Fair. The aerialists seemed happy. I knew I was quite content with my feet planted solidly on the pavement. Besides, we were on a quest…

Do you mean it?

I’m all for good sign-making and promotion. I do not think I would have signed off on the food promotion I spotted while on the stroll with my dear wife Karen at the New York State Fair midway, though. There must be some sort of food craze of which I’m not aware. I’ll take the…

Shine on

The big building in the middle of the fairgrounds presents nicely from various angles. Hanging out. We spied the midway yonder.…

Before all these GOATS there were the goats

First stop after our New York State Fair dinner was the building that is home to the goats. We love them, every visit. If you’ve never had an up-close with these farm faves, they can be as friendly as the family dog. At least the ones we encounter at the fair sure seem to like…

Happy to take a swing

My second round of 2022 came on the last day of August. Not the most prolific golfing season for me. I fit a lot of satisfaction into this day at Radisson with KP and Tater.

KP looks good up from Atlanta

KP has not sat idle since moving from Central New York to Atlanta. Golf has been in his schedule. I notice an improvement in his game, yes I do. My friend through five decades can hit the ball and manage his shots. Not so much Even Steven now. Still A-OK.

Interested bystanders

Tater most of the time keeps the ball in the short grass. This one time he hit it a bit to the right. I told you Radisson had taken a bit of water. The geese thought the puddles were home. So I took the chance to catch them with Tater. He stayed as calm as…
