Our weekly guest columnist send me his third different head shot in his time with us here at Markbialczak.com, all predicated by a change in his personal style. I’ll say. Paul Curran told us why the facial hair had to go in his story titled ‘I’m Sorry.’ He continues to touch on it in this…
I took a quick lunchtime stroll two blocks down from the Liverpool Public Library this week despite the 90º F temperatures and the fact that I had to return to my desk, oh, a tad sweaty. I saw some color on the trees at last this blistering summer. It’s the first hint of change I’ve…
Are you sure The Retreat will be open on Labor Day, Judy asked me via Facebook as we solidified our plans for the four of us to meet for lunch. I stopped by on my daily lap through the Village of Liverpool while on my break from the job at the library to be sure.…

To help celebrate Labor Day here in the U S of A, I saved some of my fireworks display photographs from Star Wars Night put on by the Syracuse Chiefs baseball squad at NBT Bank Stadium here in Central New York. Happy day to all. Hover over any gallery photo for a description. Click on…
What a lovely butterfly garden in the backyard of our cherished Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood my dear wife Karen has cultivated this summer of 2016. I took these photos more than a month ago. They’re too pretty not to show off. Sweet time of year, indeed. No matter how you…
The man apologizes in his headline. After what he went through last week, the one thing he picks to top off the tale of his return here for his Sunday guest column is to say he’s sorry. Wait! There’s more to it than that. That’s our Paul Curran. Welcome back, good friend. Read on. Welcome…
