With my dear wife Karen home from this year’s editiion of the Girls Getaway, a trip from the Little Bitty to to Chadwick’s on James Street was in order this beautiful Friday evening. And after her couple bottles of Labatt’s Blue Light beers and my glasses of house Cabernet Savaugnons were savored and our plate…
I made a good call back on Father’s Day, deciding that rainy lunchtime did not look promising enough for us to continue onto step three of our plan: Having George Two meet us our annual nine-hole round of golf together. I told my wonderful daughter Elisabeth and her terrific boyfriend George Three that Sunday would…
Text pictures have been traded while my dear wife Karen is enjoying her annual Girls Getaway on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. From the south, a sunset during dinner. Gorgeous. Another night, another happy dinner. Equally beautiful. And I am grateful to receive these as I am typing blogs and comments and reading the…
My dear wife Karen made sure I was thoroughly engaged during our last weekly trip through the supermarket. Not that my mind is usually wandering, mind you. Not me, the man who prefers the Cicero location even though it’s, oh, the third or fourth farthest Wegmans from the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood…
For a glorius half-dozen years, Kim Lembo was the real deal in Syracuse music, and constantly threatening to be the Next Big Thing to take the world’s ears by storm. I covered her voice and her four albums and her live shows, from her debut in 1994 on Baldwinsville’s Blue Wave Records until she moved…
For a business meeting for one of my freelance gigs this week, the boss suggested the public library located in the Galleries of Syracuse. That’s the shiny mall that opened in downtown in 1987. I showed you the outside of the place after a walk with fellow blogger and friend Jim McKeever in March. I…
I stood in line at the Time Warner Cable office with a pile of equipment in my arms. When it came my turn, I stepped to the window and dropped to the counter two DVRs, one phone modem and two remotes with a slight grunt. Yes, I said to the guy on the other side,…
This hasn’t been the busiest golfing season for KP and I. My great friend and I got off to a great start, with Tater and our discount coupons from the winter Syracuse Golf Show in hand to play three of the nicest courses in the area before mid-June. Since then, though, we’d squeezed in just…
My dear wife Karen received the above photo with a text from our D.C.-area friend Carolyn today. Glad to see our beloved rescue mutt is on her mind down there in our sweltering nation’s capital. And also that her name makes the Coke folk’s bottle label game grade. As for me, no thank you to…
On Saturdays and Sunday when the weather’s right, Central New Yorkers don’t seem to mind fighting for a parking spot at the Regional Market. Nestled in the middle of NBT Bank Stadium, Destiny USA and the Transportation Center, this spot holds a series of sheds built on a parking lot that at first blush, doesn’t…
