Happy New Year from Liverpool, N.Y.
May your path in the new year be filled with joy, satisfaction and success. Happy 2020 to all.
Getting ready for our new year
May you have a special day ringing out the year. And the decade. I’ll leave you looking up from a spot I park my car many times while running errands in the Village of Liverpool. It’s a reminder to keep our eyes open to find the wonder in life.
Hail to this driver and passenger, who make Stuber almost 4 stars
Watch Stuber and you’ll never, ever feel self-conscious about any kind of Uber order. This adventure-comedy pairing Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista is set, sometimes, in the electric car Stu drives around LA for hire. Then one fateful day police officer Vic places an order for an Uber. The rest is one wild chase through…
It still looks pretty, I’ll admit

Merry Christmas from my part of the world
The lights around my library workplace were just right for me to play around for this year’s Christmas photograph. Make that photographs. May your day be filled with joy.
I might be leaving everybody in the dark about Lights on the Lake
So for the pair of walking events to enjoy this year’s Lights on the Lake spectacular, I was off for my work trip to St. Louis. No, I could not get photographs from there. Upon my return, my plan has been to make the best of things by rushing down to the route after my…
Discoveries in Where’d You Go, Bernadette carry a true joy
Sometimes the best of us can get lost without really identifying the when’s, why’s and how’s. That’s the point behind the very agreeable Where’d You Go, Bernadette, a lovely and loving piece of work directed by Richard Linklater from his screenplay co-written with Holly Gent (and very much driven by Maria Semple’s popular novel).
