New friend

Happy at Heritage Hill. The family brunch at Heritage Hill went over big-time for my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth, George Three and mom Sue. A little stroll to greet the campus farm animals helped work off the grand Easter meal, too. Karen got along great with the donkey. Another meal. The kids and…

Ready for chilly ballgame

Warm at this point. The second homestand of our Syracuse Mets’ season still featured some chilly weather. My dear wife Karen and I knew to dress in layers. Yes, I added a hoodie a few innings later.

Worthy slice

It can happen. Here’s a spot practically screaming for a paddler to put in a small floating craft when the weather gets warm, I figure as I stroll the way west end of the lake park.
