My brush stayed in the car
Not yet. The executive decision: This amount of snow on my car roof was not enough in the morning to bring out my snow brush before the morning drive to get my dear wife Karen to work.

What we call a dusting. Before heading down the road to take my dear wife Karen for her morning shift at the eye center yesterday, I grabbed my iPhone to capture the measurable white stuff that had arrived on our front lawn since we’d gone to bed the night prior. The TV weather folk were…
No Coach Babers. I had no inkling how much drama my dear wife Karen and I would watch unfold at the JMA Wireless Dome when I looked over the ticket availability online before the first Syracuse University game this season and selected the last game Wake Forest as our one visit this season. Summoning good…
Ahoy, there. Yes, keep the rain and snow away and folks will make use of the walking trails at Onondaga Lake Park as November nears its conclusion. Retired-guy-I even encountered two friends and former colleagues on break from the library. I joined Edina and Laura for the remainder of their walk, chatting quite happily, like…
Color coordinated. Cheers to the folks at the Onondaga Yacht Club for the green-and-red choice for their lawn anchors at this time of year, retired-guy I notes on a photo-taking stroll.
Right time and place. Down come the leaves in time for Lights on the Lake in Onondaga Lake Park, retired-guy-I notes on a photo-taking binge. Calming. Oh, I do miss the frequent doses of symmetry when I visited for tranquility on my library work breaks.

The rise and the fall. As my dear wife Karen and I walked through the back room of Ontario Orchards, I thought that these many, many scarecrow dolls looked right at home together. Pyramid of fall dolls. My mind went to: More. They found their place. I hope everybody is gathering with family or friends…
Feeling protected. Our cherished rescue mutt’s routine visit to her vet’s office included a couple of important vaccinations. It made both of us smile when she returned from the back room procedure with a bright red bandage around the shot location. Yes, Ellie and I discussed, it looked a lot like the bandages that my…
Hello, newbie. Something smelled in the basement. My dear wife Karen looked here and there thinking a small creature has suffered an ill fate. But no. Then she noticed the power strip leading to our chest freezer’s little light was off. And she opened the lid to warm and oh-that-odor. Flipping the switch got it…
