For the last three weeks of this season for our little golf league, the owner at Northern Pines suggested to Commish that we switch from Monday to Wednesday night. All eight of us gave the move the thumbs up. We could start at 5:30, giving us an important extra 15 minutes of the waning daylight.…
Sometimes sports isn’t just about what happens out there in the heat of competition. Sure, it’s the winning and losing that brings fans to a fever pitch and puts the games on TV and makes the money such an important element to it all. So much of American society is hooked on this screaming, passionate…
For a certain generation in America, many things changed 46 years ago this month. In their music, and thus in their life. The Woodstock Music & Art Fair took root on Max Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, N.Y., Aug. 14 to 18, 1969. Hundreds of thousands of young music fans descended upon the land. The New…
With my dear wife Karen home from this year’s editiion of the Girls Getaway, a trip from the Little Bitty to to Chadwick’s on James Street was in order this beautiful Friday evening. And after her couple bottles of Labatt’s Blue Light beers and my glasses of house Cabernet Savaugnons were savored and our plate…
In March, I figured Thornden Park was the right Syracuse location for my Photography 101 lesson in landscapes. In addition to bringing you some stirring snow scenes, I promised a return to the location that sits high on Syracuse’s overall terrain for a handful of summer shots for comparison. It’s moving toward the end of…
I made a good call back on Father’s Day, deciding that rainy lunchtime did not look promising enough for us to continue onto step three of our plan: Having George Two meet us our annual nine-hole round of golf together. I told my wonderful daughter Elisabeth and her terrific boyfriend George Three that Sunday would…
Text pictures have been traded while my dear wife Karen is enjoying her annual Girls Getaway on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. From the south, a sunset during dinner. Gorgeous. Another night, another happy dinner. Equally beautiful. And I am grateful to receive these as I am typing blogs and comments and reading the…
My dear wife Karen made sure I was thoroughly engaged during our last weekly trip through the supermarket. Not that my mind is usually wandering, mind you. Not me, the man who prefers the Cicero location even though it’s, oh, the third or fourth farthest Wegmans from the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood…
For a glorius half-dozen years, Kim Lembo was the real deal in Syracuse music, and constantly threatening to be the Next Big Thing to take the world’s ears by storm. I covered her voice and her four albums and her live shows, from her debut in 1994 on Baldwinsville’s Blue Wave Records until she moved…
At the start of American Ultra, a beat-up and bloody dude by the name of Mike is asked how he got to such a state by an authoritative figure. Wanting to be supportive, he starts to answer. Instead we get quick panels of flashbacks. Sitting in a late Friday afternoon showing in the Regal Cinemas…
