It went swimmingly
My dear wife Karen caught some nice sights during her girls getaway trip to Florida. I wanted to share this water view of the ducks between the boats.
Nothing’s as easy as it seems in A Simple Favor
Stephanie Smothers seems to lead an uncomplicated life, sure, when we meet her at the start of A Simple Favor. The single mom earns her attention online. No, not those type of sites. She sets up a camera and runs her own mommy vlog, dispensing tips for women of similar mind and pursuits. Then one…
Can we harness your energy together, dear dog?
With the small taste of better weather, there’s been more walking of Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle for my dear wife Karen and I in our Galeville neighborhood in Liverpool this past week. Every day, in fact. And we’ve attempted a new push for better behavior to keep her from pulling us here and there.…
It’s not hooked to the dock, but it’s out on the water
Hooray for spring boats out on Onondaga Lake. The site of day fishermen made me smile during a work break walk from the library this week. Hooray to spring. Soon there will be some tied to their seasonal marina slips, I hope.
It’s growing time in the back, too
The backyard in our Galeville neighborhood in Liverpool is seeing spring action, too. Even in a spot behind A Bitty Better where my dear wife Karen can’t quite figure what exactly she put there last fall.
The first sprouts of spring make me happy
So much cold and snow around our Galeville neighborhood in Liverpool this winter. And, yes, even another helping at the start of spring. Yet the green is prevailing in the front yard of A Bitty Better. Even the bulbs she transplanted in the fall, says my dear wife Karen. Soon will come a big growth…
Everybody makes nicey-nice as the Mets visit the Carrier Dome
The New York Mets players and their Central New York fans got along well Tuesday afternoon in the Carrier Dome. A crowd I thought to be somewhat comparable to a Syracuse University spring football game watched the players get ready for Thursday’s season-opener in D.C. against the Washington Nationals with plenty of enthusiasm. (On the…
To meet the Mets in the Carrier Dome, I’ll take the day off from work, Noah Syndergaard
Some of my New York Mets told reporters they will not welcome the trip to Syracuse to visit the city that will now be home to the organization’s Triple-A squad. I’ve already taken the day off from work, enthusiastic to welcome the major leaguers for their workout in Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome. Off to the…
We know Dwayne Johnson can play strong guys, but Skyscraper may stretch the limit
Bad guys foiled by the guy played by Dwayne Johnson? Now that’s a comfortable enough fit for The Rock. Yet still, an eyebrow might be raised at what director and writer Rawson Marshall Thurber put the harried guy by the name of Will Sawyer through in Skyscraper. Maybe both eyebrows. Sawyer, a former FBI guy,…
Chicken Parm from a skillet can shine
Chicken parm in a skillet was the way Marley and Me instructed my dear wife Karen to prepare our third and final freebie from the big box. With the pasta and spinach as the side, it surely and happily filled me up. Now, will we order it when we have to pay? I can’t quite…
