One more winter step for the pool

My thought process led to another step in the closing of the backyard pool in this first fall and coming winter in A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I purchased a bunch of the long, tall sticks that most folks use to mark their driveway lines for the plowing service, and a…

BW Challenge, Village of Liverpool

Thank you, Christopher Malone, for including my name on your list of folks requested to show the world some black-and-white photography.

BW Challenge, A Bitty Better

My friend Christopher Malone put me on his list of folks he wanted to see come up with a black-and-white photo. I said yes. His post came on Facebook, with a list of this-and-that, most of which he bent for his personal satisfactions. Me, too. I’ll post two photos, one right now and the second…

Now the iPad Pro keyboard is getting balky …

It’s time for the backyard cover up to continue

My dear wife Karen and I have been extremely satisfied with the Weber grill we picked to add to the backyard ambiance of the first summer at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Burgers, steaks, ribs … This propane grill has been the best outdoor cooker I’ve ever owned. Having experienced our…

A wheelie cool lineup

On the break walk from my library workplace, the lines of the bicycles available for rent by CuseCycle caught my eye. They’re available right outside the Salt Museum. If you’re looking for something to pedal down the Onondaga Lake Park path. Which I’m not.
