Yesterday afternoon I drove to the offices of Syracuse Public Media site waer.org to pick up tickets to today’s Syracuse-Duke men’s basketball game. I was offered the tickets after another blogger saw my story that mentioned Valentine’ Day plans that included taking my dear wife Karen to see the game on the movie screen at…
I hear the boasts here and there from the toughies who claim they’re always ready to burn up a couple of sirloins for dinner out there in their backyard no matter the season. Yeah, buddy, you master of your own universe, captain of the propane flame, king and queen of coal, grillmeister extraordinary. Not me.…
I know the snow that’s fallen in the last three or four days cannot compare to the way in which my blogging friends Ann Koplow and Austin Hodgens in Boston and Bangor have been blasted this winter. And besides, our winter-of-2014-15 fate had been relatively tame except for some early December storms until now. But…
Walking with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle through a winter snow in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood’s nearby Norwood Park, we noticed something sitting on a backyard post just past a fence separating us and it. I pulled Ellie B through the snow to the fence to better see the bird. Ellie B pulled…
I’ve let this news of my hometown Syracuse University’s self-imposed penalty of no post-season play for the Orange men’s basketball squad swim around in my head and gut a couple of days before attempting to make sense of how this makes me feel about college sports, life in general in this college city and how…
At the latest installment of my Vanity Appointment, my good friend Theresa Constantine pinned me down to the specific night. “You and your dear wife Karen meet me, David and Althea at New Fuji Buffet on Erie Boulevard at 6:30,” my hair and beard stylist implored. “I’ve got coupons.” Indeed we did. It had been…
There’s a new baby on the Syracuse festival scene. On Feb. 20 at the Palace Theatre on James Street comes the Snow Plow Blues Festival. If you want to read about the who-is-coming and why-is-this-happening, the event is the subject of my column today for my weekly community blog on Syracuse Public Media site waer.org.…
This was my dinner so I could get out quickly for my Thursday night bowling league, what with my dear wife Karen having plans to dine out right from work with her friend Marie without stopping at our beloved Little Bitty in the Syracuse City neighborhood of Eastwood. One can of condensed Vegetable Alphabet soup,…
When my mind brings up memories of my Pop Pop and Nana, grandparents on my mother’s side, George is always smiling. The old guy — yes, no matter the age I am in these flashbacks that still warm me today, Pop Pop is remembered as old — is happy when he had I are walking…
Some people think every four weeks is too soon for a hair cut and beard trim. Especially when there’s not much left on top to cut. I visited my good friend Theresa Constantine at her place in North Syracuse, N.Y., yesterday, for my regular vanity appointment. Because there’s plenty on the bottom of my face…
