We get the drift
It seems so early for there to be parking lot piles this high. Not to mention this dirty.
Our cherished rescue mutt takes advantage of her new gear
Our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle wears out her gear, too. My dear wife Karen decided it was time for a new leash and gentle leader after one too many walks with tangles and tenuous clicks. The dog was ready for the added foot or two during our first walk in the…
Now I’m ready to tackle the walk and the driveway
Yes, Wegmans still had that new shovel I’ve been admiring. The metal edge will help me cut into the ice that the plow guy often leaves behind with his big blade. The straight handle will be good for throwing the snow. I like the light plastic purple bottom. Not that I’m asking for a quick…
Let Green Book remind us about building understanding
At the start of Green Book, we see Tony “Lip” Vallelonga operating through famed Manhattan nightclub The Copa as if he owned the joint. Lip uses his reputation, guile and, yes, fists to keep order and his vision of right on a busy night so the headliner on stage, most patrons in the seats and,…
And now the swans are up to 7 or 8 or …
My work friends shouted out as we got to the Onondaga Lake portion of our morning break walk Friday. More swans! Swimming, and close to shore.

I want a new shovel
Two snows into this season, and already I know that it’s time for my trusty orange shovel to be replaced. I’ve plumb worn this simple and honest tool of removal out. Maybe another bag of salt is on tap, too …
At least the contrast looks lovely
Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I caught an eyeful when we doggedly decided to walk the blocks surrounding A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville despite the big November snow. We saw what can happen when all that white stuff comes down before the trees have decided to relinquish their autumn leaves.…
Here it comes again
What we woke up to at mid-week: It was daunting around the covered pool. The overhang over the side door didn’t block much. The clearing I made for my dear wife Karen to get to the driveway did not last long after she pulled away to her job at the eye place. Out the front…
These birds appear to be comfortable with neighborhood dogs
In a November neighborhood walk with our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle, we came upon a high wire full of resting birds. I particularly admired the kingpin on top of the pole as I fished my iPhone 8 from my pocket, but worried that they all would scatter upon our continued approach.…
Georgia finds the right karaoke stage for her voice
On our second trip to the Syracuse-area karaoke Mecca with our great friends Georgia, Burt and this time Chris back up from Florida, the folks at Singers opened up the big back room. And, wow, did Georgia sound and look great on that big stage. The DJ complimented her after she was first-person up with…
