My beloved alma mater bowed out of March Madness in the first round. Bye-bye, Maryland Terrapins, to this campaign that began with so much promise. Now that 20-2 record carved by junior guard Melo Trimble and the trio of surprising freshmen â Anthony Cowan, Kevin Huerter and Justin Jackson â is nothing but a historical…
Where where you when … The phrase that brings us together in the collective good, bad, sad of life. The tragic and triumphant. Today I sadly sit in the living room of the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood as Today rightly chronicles the times of Prince. Another pop music legend left…
Hopes were high. Stores were selling shirts, fast. My dear wife Karen and I were up on the Syracuse University hill to catch the spring football game Saturday — more on that here tomorrow — so we ducked into a couple of stores on Marshall Street to see for ourselves what was hot. We walked…
The games will be played elsewhere. Houston on Saturday and Indianapolis on Sunday, to be precise. But make no mistake about it. The folks who call Syracuse, N.Y., and its surrounding miles home can undeniably make claim as the basketball capital of the entire world this weekend. The Syracuse men’s and women’s teams both won…
No way I predicted this. Maryland plays Kansas tonight in the Sweet Sixteen. Syracuse takes on Gonzaga tomorrow night with the same chance to advance to the NCAA men’s college basketball tournament’s Elite Eight. Hover over either gallery photo (Getty Images) for a description. Click on either for an enlarged slide show. My alma mater…
My University of Maryland basketball team has a tough freshman in the middle this season. The young man making noise for my alma mater is Diamond Stone. Yes, that’s his real name. Precious, I think. Says the university media guide: “Father named him Diamond because a Diamond is the hardest rock on the planet ……
There are a lot of old sayings that make the point. Smelly stuff flows downhill. Cut off the head to defeat the enemy. Wow. Those are pretty harsh as I’m thinking about Syracuse University bringing in the new athletic director chosen to direct a program pretty important to the community in which I live. Mark…
Did you hear all those moans and hollers echoing throughout the office, bar, store, living room, every 30 minutes or so yesterday? It was an upsetting opening day to March Madness 2015. The New York Times was led to publish: Low seeds beat high seeds all over the place. Meanwhile, back at the Little Bitty…
As I get set to watch my Maryland Terrapins host the Michigan Wolverines at the Xfinity Center in College Park on my flat screen at noon today, I’m still smiling abourt the way my squad handled the No. 5 team in the country on Tuesday night. Yes, serving Wisconsin just its third loss of the…
I’ll always jump at the chance for a live chat with somebody whose blog I follow. So when Phil Prehn emailed during this bitter Syracuse winter to set up a coffee get-together at Cafe Kubal, up James Street from my dear wife Karen and I’s Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, I…

I sell collectibles and art online and often find the things I've found have hilarious and at times, dark stories to tell. It's thrilling for me to be creatively random, so always expect the unexpected in the things I share with you.
