Shopping the Regional Market for flowers

We haven’t yet taken our spring trip to the Regional Market, my dear wife Karen reminded me. I agreed. And I knew what she wanted to spend our Saturday morning doing. Up and down the sheds we walked, searching for just the right ones. Hover over a gallery photo for a description. Click on an…

Why Him? You can say that again

The rich get richer, they say. And all the good looking significant others, too, right? No matter what they seem like when you get a good look at what they’re really like. So it seems in in Why Him? a comedy written by Ian Helfer and directed by John Hamburg and stocked by some pretty…

I’ve met this artist

Strolling through the Liverpool Craft Extravaganza in Washington Park last month with my dear wife Karen, I spotted a familiar face among the booths.

Of course my dear wife Karen and I both hold our breath after putting the new plants into the ground at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I do not think we need worry much about the tiger lily chosen by George Three for her Mother’s Day present. Soon after we put…

Hey, you, don’t just sit there

My work friend and colleague Dave told me after a little photo session that I had to take a look at the passenger side of his car before I went back up to the second floor of the Liverpool Public Library. I spotted his Versa in the underground parking garage and strolled over. Holy cow!…
