A lot to look forward to in 2025. Syracuse Mets general manager Jason Smorol is the perfect choice to get fans ready for a new season. He can stoke optimism for the players the parent New York Mets will fill Triple A roster with from April through September. This past weekend, he mentioned a prospect…
Deep to center. Here’s the field that greeted us when we arrived for this year’s Syracuse Mets open house at NBT Bank Stadium. I decided as the event wound down over the course of two-plus hours that I could accomplish my own version of iPhone time-lapse photography. Settling down. It wasn’t warming up much, but…
Eager to get those tickets. Of course my dear wife Karen and I planned our arrival at NBT Bank Stadium with terrific daughter Elisabeth and George Three to get me in prime position to nab our tickets for the Syracuse Mets home opener the minute to ticket windows opened on open house day. I was…
Welcome to Syracuse. At a previous Syracuse Mets open house, terrific daughter Elisabeth urged me to ask General Manager Jason Smorol during the finishing question-and-answer session why famous mascots Mr. Met and Mrs. Met don’t come around NBT Bank Stadium, ever.

The kind I have to change by hand. I’m an hour off today. Welcome to Daylight Savings Time. Spring ahead. That’s the saying I use to remember the havoc thrust upon my b body at this time yearly. When I wake up, it will still be dark. Heck, when I drive my dear wife Karen…

Roller coaster March. It’s been warm. It’s been cold. It’s snowed some. March has come in like a confused month, indeed.
Comfy indoors. Our backyard fig tree has enjoyed its winter inside. This is its third indoor season with us, and to my eye at least, its biggest sprawl in my dear wife Karen’s dressing room. Bring on the warmth and sun of spring. We want to eat figs from this beauty come fall.
Izzy and Vinny, left and right. We had our first shifts taking care of the kitties. Terrific daughter Elisabeth had a work trip up north, and fantastic George Three decided to take a couple days to accompany her. My dear wife Karen and I were thrilled to run over to their house to fill the…
WordPress called my time tapping at the keyboard with their platform an achievement. I started this blog 12 years ago, their A1 apparently flagged them. My start was cautious. I didn’t even take photos. Or use clip art. All I knew was that after getting laid off by the big daily with four decades of…
