I spend half my life humanizing Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle. I admit it. Our beloved rescue mutt is so dang smart. If she could talk she’s freely engage my dear wife Karen and I in conversation each night about the shows we watch, the Mets games. She’d discuss the merits of wine vs. beer…
Joey from the most excellent blog Joeyfully Stated tagged me last night in the Love-Hate Challenge. I must have sent some sort of aura out into BloggyVille yesterday. First lilrant tagged me in the afternoon with Freestyle Writing, and then came this. Because I only carry great affection for Joey’s peculiar Indy language trotted out…
Our great friends Brenda and JoAnn play the group cruises ahead of time. So they called a Cruise Buddies breakfast for this past Sunday at Good Golly in Central Square to talk about the next time this gang will get on the big ship. Month: September. Year: 2016. Way ahead of time. That’s how our…
I stayed up until 2 this morning, watching my Maryland Terrapins beat the UCLA Bruins on the baseball diamond in an NCAA Tournament elimination game on ESPNU. My squad beat the defending national champion, the No. 1 team in the country right now, too, for the second time in three tries in a four-day stretch,…
Happy June 1, world. Ready for anything, are you, in this month meant for warm thoughts and summer play (up here in the northern hemisphere, anyway)? Well, my friend Paul over at The Captain’s Speech was not content leaving it remain merely any old June. No, Paul, this Canadian fellow who lives even a bit…
When we picked up our three play-for-just-the-cart-fee coupons at the Syracuse Golf Show back in March, KP, Tater and I decided to save Seven Oaks for last. We all held the 18 designed by prominent architect Robert Trent Jones in high esteem. Tater had followed many rounds of The Post-Standard Amateur there when he covered…
My terrific daughter Elisabeth had enough time to spare to meet me for breakfast before heading into work at the orthopedic complex in Hamilton. That made leaving at 7:30 a.m. for the 40-or-so mile drive southeast from Syracuse well worth my while. We agreed on the big joint on the main drag less than a…
Brian D’Apice stayed at my good friend Jim McKeever’s house through the Memorial Day Weekend. Anybody who’s read Jim’s passionate Irish Investigations blog know how he’s one to advance the good cause any way possible. And the work of D’Apice, this project he’s calling Bicycle Around America is a great cause. D’Apice’s pedal pushing began…
In the top left corner of the front yard of the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, the oh-so-fast cycle of our proud peony has moved past middle age. Soft pink petals, only days from their manic fuchsia, whisper with the gentle morning breeze that stirs some still colorful brethren a high.…
A Memorial Day afternoon with our little golf league can mean only one thing this spring of 2015. Even though we all known this is the unofficial kick off of summer in Everywhere, USA. For the third Monday in a row, clouds will gather and rain will threaten. No matter for this collection of friends,…
