Please stick to the instructions, still
The season has changed. Temperatures have dipped. It’s good to see that park people still want us to keep our walks safe, both on the Willow Bay end and over on the east end of Onondaga Lake Park, too.
The lights are out around the lake
Yes, they are getting ready for the annual Lights on the Lake display at Onondaga Lake Park during our virus year of 2020. This chap is already standing post near Willow Bay. On the east end near the Wegmans Playground, meanwhile, these await a good spreading out. This does make me wonder if they will…
I like them apples
My dear wife Karen took on a Saturday adventure with our great friend Georgia. They drove the short miles to community farm stand Abbott’s, purchased fall apples, and tackled the project of baking a few October apple pies. Georgia had volunteered to guide a somewhat reluctant Karen through the making and baking processes. Success, my…
Downhill spirals to the bottom of this marriage’s hill, slowly and surely
If you rent <em>Downhill</em> merely on the name recognition of stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell with no further investigation, you will will be in for a different ride down the hill than you might suspect. This European adventure directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash from the screenplay written by Faxon, Rash and Jesse…
Don’t it make your green leaves brown
Happy fall, says this Onondaga Lake Park tree spotted on a very nice safe walk stroll.
The new iPad Pro keyboard does not take a bite from the Apple
When your second version of the Smart Keyboard designed by Apple for the first generation of the iPad Pro 12.9 looks like mine, you know it’s time to move on to No. 3. Not to mention the fact the used-to-seem-like magic connection between the smooth keys and the type showing up on all the things…
One on our block
One tree on our block seems to be more in a rush to take on its fall color than the others. It looks pretty cool even before the temperatures really dip, I think.
The tree blends right in
The turning leaves on our front yard tree fit right in with our house color and my dear wife Karen’s car, for this moment of autumn.
Almost but not quite with the 1,000-piece puzzle
My dear wife Karen finds jigsaw puzzles quite relaxing during vacation. So early on during our great September 2020 Cape Cod getaway we searched for and found a good 1,000-piece model. The Cape Cid beach scene took residence on the living room coffee table. Man, did I have fun … watching Karen put it together…
The eating on the Cape was fine and safe
My dear wife Karen and I found our favorite restaurants safely distanced in this shifted-to-September annual Cape Cod getaway. We wore our masks, noted our chunks of six feet and admired how they spaced there tables, inside and out. Some meals were noted in separate previous posts, yum-yum to the Ocean House, Red Nun, Sundancers…
