Soon I’ll get a chance to deep-think the inner meaning of one of comic Steven Wright’s go-to jokes. It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to have to paint it. Find the gold in the everyday, coaxed the dry voice of the curly-haired dead-pan guy who made the late-night TV talk-show rounds so regularly…
Spotted on the stroll from the parking lot to Destiny USA with my dear wife Karen recently was a flattened road sign. My mind started wondering about the Do Not Enter post and how it got this way immediately. Was it the big wind we’d experienced that sent this message prone? Was it a driver…
Elvis Cole keeps his cool in The Promise while Los Angeles police chase nefarious characters and keep their eyes on him, too. Yes, novelist Robert Crais has put his free-wheeling private eye in a dangerous predicament again. And of course Cole has quiet agency partner Joe Pike and other connected folks who operate way off…
The NASCAR folks used to call his old man Wild Bill because of his fearlessness steering through right spaces. Later they called him Million Dollar Bill because he was so good beating everybody else to the finish line. But the most popular nickname for Bill Elliott was Awesome Bill from Dawsonville. Not a bad way…
By all accounts, writers Sean Macauley and Simon Kelton took a lot of liberties while crafting the story that director Dexter Fletcher brings to the screen in Eddie the Eagle.

They’re half-healed. They’re not. My fingertips usually give me problems during our cold winters, splitting to reveal raw and bothersome cracks because of repeated use to clear the snow off my dear wife Karen’s Mazda and my Chevy and shovel the driveway of the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. Yes, I’m…
Music lover and writer Chris Rapp sent over a message a couple of months ago to alert me about a favorite old Syracuse band of his that was getting back together next weekend. Rapp urged that I alert the world through my blog. He even sent the pictures here along with his text. Rapp wrote…
My dear wife Karen and I were watching a Maryland basketball game earlier this season when the camera crew focused in on the student section. It was during holiday break, and an older guy was amid the happy regulars in those steep rows. He was wearing a cool red shirt that both gave him away…
My dear wife Karen got me, but good, at Martinfest on Saturday. I’d pulled from a box a cool chocolate bar with this year’s party logo on the front and handed it to her to take home. A bit later she handed it back to me, asking if I’d noticed that “Winner” had been written…
They nicked us for the birdie package again. That means KP, Tater and I went for the package deal at the annual Syracuse golf show, the one that adds a couple of Central New York’s top courses to the base ticket deal. Even that $10 price admission to the downtown Syracuse Oncenter’s pretty good, considering…
