Stepping to the top step of the porch to let Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle out to do her backyard morning thing, I couldn’t help but look right and left to check out autumn’s progress in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. The empty lot to the right has a brightly yellowed tree hiding out…
This move to the Big Ten for my Maryland Terps is serious stuff. We ran all over the Indiana Hoosiers in our first game ever in the new conference. At their place, yet. It made me very, very happy. And then Ohio State came to College Park and made Byrd Stadium Buckeyeville. After a bye…
It had been while since my dear wife Karen and I had gone to a concert in the Turning Stone Resort and Casino Event Center, but when I heard the word that Carlos Santana was bringing his guitar to the 5,000-seat room just 30 miles east of Syracuse, I knew that would make one heckuva…
My dear wife Karen marks another year on our planet this week. Not today. And we haven’t reached the big day yet. We have, though, started our celebration. By now I am quite aware, and thoroughly pleased, that we do not have to limit the great joy for this occasion to one single day. Happy…
After driving those 35 miles east of Syracuse to pick up my monthly collection of meds from my friends Jen and Chris at Doughterty Pharmacy this week, I was struck by a familar feeling as I climbed out of my car, moved to walk up and down the half-mile strip that makes up the town-and-gown…
My bowling hopes were high. The average going up, up, up. But splits were everywhere. Conversions were few. Pins stood. Winking. Laughing. First game. 152. Second game. 154. Final game. 127.

Officials from Syracuse University deemed Friday the as a perfect time for an Orange Out. That is one of the striking colors in Central New York’s autumn once the leaves change. That is the team name and color the the school’s sports teams. So that was the color they asked fans to wear during their…
Kudos to the folks who first came up with the idea for the Empty Bowls fundraiser in Michigan in 1994. More cheers to the wise ones around the country who picked up the ball and ran with it, galloped, really, to states east and west and south, because hungry people are everywhere. My dear wife…
Taking a walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle around our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood in my shorts and T-shirt, I noticed the dog panting and myself working up a good sweat. So I stopped to snap a snot of the tree above with my iPhone 4, foremost to give the dog a breather…
The good news this WordPress Dashboard Monday morning is that I was able to add this image to the right here on my iPad Air. The last 10 days or so I’ve been sent scurrying to the small screen of my iPhone 4 to affix all images on the tiny dashboard from the teeny camera…
