Bright and hot these fireworks were

The Syracuse Mets organization knows what to do when a weekend game ends. Toss T-shirts out to fans. Then shoot fireworks off for the crowd. This night’s were very colorful. Smoky, too. A big piece of casing came down on my arm. At least I did not spot a fire such as the one reported…

My daughter thinks the Syracuse Mets rock

My terrific daughter Elisabeth had a unique preparation for our most recent trip to see the Syracuse Mets. She painted up a special rock. And then another. She made sure to put them in a location of high visibility, with instructions on the back for passing the vibe on. One out of two ain’t bad.

A uniform celebration with the Syracuse Mets

My terrific daughter Elisabeth suggested we all go the Syracuse Mets game not just to see the baseball but to get the replica game day jerseys they were handing out to the first 2,000 people who showed up. Yes, we were, arriving together from my dear wife Karen and I’s house a mile or so…

They built this when?

We spotted the really big building while traveling the Syracuse Creek Walk. Its presence is a bit jarring, really, next to the nature of the path along the water. I was quite happy the walkers wanted to investigate. We discovered there are actually two new buildings. When it opens in 2020, I think the rents…

When it comes to Dumbo, are you still all ears?

The premise of a floppy-eared elephant taking to the air has been in the collective consciousness of movie-loving generations since Disney made Dumbo in 1941. Lest you forget, in that one-minute-longer than an hour classic, the baby elephant so cruelly orphaned from its mother does not learn to soar until six minutes from the finish.…

The sights you can spot along the creek

I joined the LPL Walking Club for its hour down and up the Syracuse Creek Walk. The photos for the library social media platforms went to the good work camera. It not take long for my iPhone 8 to come out of my pocket to snap a few for this blog as well. You’re welcome.…

Sometimes I must compare

While my dear wife Karen and I were appreciating our strolls around the neighborhood of the cottage we rented for this year’s trip to Cape Cod, we both decided it would be a good adventure to go inside the Town of Dennis Public Library. We knew we wanted to compare it, outside and in, to…

There’s a gem down there at Vesper Hills

Why would KP and Tater have me go to the end of the world and take a right to join them for our first round of golf together this season? Ah, Vesper Hills. OK, so it really took me just a bit more than a half-hour south on 81 from Liverpool and then east toward…

Sticking with your team

My terrific daughter Elisabeth immediately knew what she had to get me for my new car. It looks good, I think. My allegiance to my squad, right on and ride on.
