Half-and-Half at the Little Bitty

Yes, it’s only March. Not yet spring here in Syracuse, N.Y., as our calendar will remind me for two more weeks. Winter has been holding on hard, too, with several snow spurts and temperatures in the 20s (F). That strength of the sun is stronger, stronger, stronger as the days get longer, longer, longer. Of…

The big wind or a bad driver?

Spotted on the stroll from the parking lot to Destiny USA with my dear wife Karen recently was a flattened road sign. My mind started wondering about the Do Not Enter post and how it got this way immediately. Was it the big wind we’d experienced that sent this message prone? Was it a driver…

When your gadget accessory goes on the blink

I use my iPad Air and iPhone 6 for so much. Blogging here daily, with all of the writing and picture-taking that involves, for one thing.

Majestic moon shot

Straight from a work shift at the store, I drove to Destiny USA to catch a late afternoon movie for this week’s review. Dirty Grandpa. DeNiro and Efron. Catch my views here Monday morning. After that solo viewing, I pulled into the driveway of the Little Bitty in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood tired…

One family member loves the snow

I’ve fully chronicled my wish that the snow stay away from the our Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. The reasons are many. Snow removal of course is high on my list, right up there with my aversion to driving in it, on it, through it. This week’s storm came through the…
