On Nov. 11, in Syracuse, N.Y., we played sunny golf
I’ve had a new saying lately. Syracuse is the new South Carolina. What I mean is … The periodic bursts of warm weather we’ve been getting this fall has been knocking me out. On Tuesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day 2014, it reached 65 degrees in Syracuse, N.Y. That, my friends, is not the usual sort…
Zoomy with my new iPhone 6
My own shots always win out over their better-looking brothers and sisters I can find with a good Google. What with the largesse granted blogworld by Getty Images for photo use within sensible limits, one could pretty up most any post with professional portraits, landscapes, action. But still I go my own way with my…
Keaton’s ‘Birdman’ alights on a lofty perch at Manlius Art Cinema
It felt right to see “Birdman” in an art cinema. The Manlius Art Cinema, to be exact, a tiny movie house about a dozen miles to the southeast of Syracuse, N.Y., where art movies come to run on a screen way smaller than those employed by the big chains nearby and watched by … well,…
The balls were rolling
To complete the thought on Oh, balls … I like bowling on Sunday mornings in my Thursday night league. See my previous post if that statement leaves you scratching your head. Cici’s Pizza took two of three games and total wood from the second-place team. I was happy with my first and third games, most…
Oh, balls
It takes all kinds at Bowling Green in Cicero, N.Y. I came prepared to capture the colorful spectrum of bowling balls that roll these days at my Thursday night league just to the north of Syracuse. The other squad was dressed in matching team shirts, and not T’s, either. Our CiCi Pizza T-shirts, received at…

A walk with Ellie B takes flight
A long loop walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle this week took us behind the apartment complex more than a few blocks away from our home in the Syracuse city neighborhood home of Eastwood. I noticed a Fed Ex truck stopped on the extreme right side of the lot, hugging the bit of unkempt…
One week down, Nano Poblano, many great posts written: A blog roll
Are you hanging in there after our first seven days of November, Nano Poblano teammates? We’ve accomplished plenty. Fish of Gold started the wildly entertaining Blog Hop story. Who, what and why? We are in the middle of something fun, funny and very entertaining. I began Blog Hop II: The Name Game. Do you think…
How far have the lines moved these days?
I couldn’t quite believe the news story the other week when I read deeper into the particulars about a honcho losing a prestigious position because of something said in public. Or, more precisely, something this middle-aged white American male tweeted to the world in reaction to comments made by a European golfer about an older-generation…
