Five months worth of available dancing, drinking and eating in downtown Syracuse’s Clinton Square kicked off yesterday afternoon. The spring gray broke for a stretch, my dear wife Karen and I took off our jackets, the good friends were chatty, and my very favorite Syracuse band was on the stage. I enjoyed the Crawfish Festival.…
Game three in the biggest bloggers baseball wager ever is in the books. The Syracuse Chiefs defeated the Toledo Mud Hens this afternoon at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse. The final score was a whole lot to not so much. You can see it in the glorious line score from the Chiefs site above. You…
Our friend Judy held up her iPhone this morning to show off the picture of her nephew Linus. The dozen-plus of us at breakfast to talk about our next group cruise collectively put down our silverware. I clapped and exclaimed: “Send that picture to my Facebook page, please, Judy.” Yes, young Linus was really dressed…
The great, big bloggers baseball wager is all tied up. And I saw Syracuse fall to Toledo right before my very eyes Friday night. Boo-hoo. Mud Hens pitcher Kyle Lobstein had a startling fastball when you compared it to his back-breakingly slow change-up. Lob-stein indeed. Third baseman Mike Hessman clouted a homer over the deepest…
Beth of I Didn’t Have My Glasses On has gone all mascot on us, Syracuse. She’s taken her first shot in the great Syracuse Chiefs vs. Toledo Mud Hens blog vs. blog wager. I will admit, so very grudgingly, that I do like the idea of a baseball character who goes by the name of…
A small business conference was my dear wife Karen’s assignment Thursday afternoon for the Syracuse Media Group, the company that was born from the big daily. As I was sharpening comments right here, Karen called. She suggested I drive downtown to the Oncenter and take a walk through the aisles. There were plenty of folks…
They may fall slightly off the national radar, these eight games coming up between the Syracuse Chiefs and the Toledo Mud Hens. But for this blogger and Beth, the author behind I Didn’t Have My Glasses On, the eight games in May are the equivalent of the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Final Four,…
My Thursday blog task for the Syracuse New Times site for a few weeks now is to find news in the film world and Mark-snark about it. Yes, I can do that. But Tuesday, Bob Hoskins passed away at the age of 71. It was a little odd that the British native got his start…
There was a time when soccer was king in Morrisville, N.Y. … A rush of emotions hit me last month when I saw the news that Peter McAvoy, the young man who was captain for the Herikimer County Community College soccer team in upstate New York, collapsed and died. So tragic, so sad, so heart-breaking…
Last Saturday my dear wife Karen and I walked the aisles of Chuck Hafner’s Garden Center in North Syracuse for more than an hour, and I was a lot closer to getting bushed than I was to getting bored. Every year we take the drive from our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood to North Syracuse…
