We hadn’t been out on the course together in more than a month, me and my boys, so we were definitely ready to get together for our Sunday round at the Links at Erie Village. KP called on Wednesday and found plenty of morning tee times, took a straw poll on the greens fee-and-cart cost…
With a paycheck in the account from my two freelance stories for the September issue of the glossy magazine, I took a quick stroll to part with it after lunch the other day. No, there was not fair at a castle in downtown Syracuse to sign up for a quick joust. Look closely. No moat.…
After eating Chinese takeout in the food court of Destiny USA the other day before taking in the movie for my weekly film review blog for the Syracuse New Times site, an odd new addition to the space caught my eye. What might be that big ball over there, wondered I? I had to take…
I’ve noticed an interesting little garden one block over in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. As I walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle, I try to keep her away from this one particular front yard garden, because it’s the only one of its type I’ve seen in these parts.

My dear wife Karen and I have been watching Daryl drive his Honda Civic for a lot of years. Pretty car. Almost new car when grandpa helped him out back then. Sturdy car. A car that did its duty well, far more than 100,000 miles worth. With summer winding down, though, my fine stepson wasn’t…
An afternoon walk around the block in the Syracuse city neighborhood on Eastwood with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle on August 16, 2014 allowed a glimpse of change to come. Not every tree, but every once in a while, a certain tree had that look. Autumn is on its way to the northeast. The changes…
As the calendar to college football 2014 becomes thinner, the local sports store that tries so hard had the stops pulled out in Destiny USA, the full Friday out front display table devoted to our Syracuse Orange. Let’s see what’s for sale at My Favorite Sports Store. Would I want … As season ticket holders,…
Once upon a time there was a joint in Syracuse that was known for a roast beef sandwich with meat so tender, rollss so fresh, cheddar so sharp and horseradish so hot. Clark’s Ale House was its name, and it sat on a street flanking the Landmark Theatre. Oh, yeah, it had a an ample…
