Really red, really nice
The red rose bush in the front yard is making us happy again this season. That corner location works so well.
May you stay safe and well
My dear wife Karen and I were safely sitting in our side alcove when we heard voices coming from the Town offices across the way. I checked it out. A group of students, with an adult giving them instructions. They were all safely spaced and wearing masks. Oh, what an end to a school year…
I can’t mask my happiness for Father’s Day get-together
The last time my dear wife Karen and I had been able to break bread with my daughter Elisabeth and George Three was in March. Back before the virus caused us all to change our daily ways. We went to The Clam Bar for a wonderful Father’s Day meal. When they arrived at the house…
This is more like it as summer begins
Onondaga Lake Park and its marina are starting to look more like there usual selves. I still keep my mind on alert during my safe strolls, of course. May the true start of summer 2000 usher in some good things.
Table side, but not too close
My recent safe stroll through Onondaga Lake Park discovered the tables have been (re)turned. Walkers and visitors can once again sit for a spell. Keep six feet apart, and keep those masks on, please and thank you.
Placid lake
Some days a safe work break stroll discovers a perfectly still Onondaga Lake. I wonder how it can be this calm while the world churns on.
Follow the directive
Recently pulled into the Onondaga Lake Park Marina: A place that just might make it easier for the owners to stay home these next few months.
A more hopeful sign
On a recent work break stroll from the library, my first turn in from the Village of Liverpool streets found these signs. I follow the safe directions, yes. They mean the park is more officially open as our Central New York regions phases in.
Do I re-up or let is lapse? Loyalty or finances?
Shortly after my latest edition of Sports Illustrated arrived in my mailbox, a renewal notice came, too. I’ve been a subscriber for many decades. Heck, in the Wayback, I signed young people up for Sports Illustrated for Kids, hoping it would foster the love for the well-told story (and maybe sports too) that burned in…
Direct from Hot Springs, they remain Dapper and Debonaire
My sister-in-law Lynne and niece Stormy own a cool store in Hot Springs, Ark. Dapper and Debonair. I’d shop there if I lived anywhere near Hot Springs. Oh, wait. They have a website for buying their great products. A ways back, they sent me some fantastic shave soap and brush as a gift. I loved…
