Now it can be told, this one present in the package I received from my co-workers at the library during my birthday week celebration. My fantastic boss took advantage of supermarket Wegmans invitation to mix-and-match a six-pack of craft beers. She carefully chose according to … … brand names that fit my personality. Nailed it.…
My Birthday Week celebration continued full steam ahead at my workplace, too. Between the time I’d left in the late afternoon and made my way to my desk the following morning, a bunch of surprises had turned up on my desk. My dear wife Karen had placed a big and gorgeous birthday cake in plain…
When I told my wonderful daughter Elisabeth that I was ready and willing to drive the 40 miles southeast her way to celebrate her turning 27 with a dinner, she hesitated not a second in picking the place. Ray Brothers Barbecue sits quietly on the side of Route 20 in Madison County, just past the…
They pulled it off. We all could tell by the look on Michelle’s face when she followed Kristin and Kris into The Retreat in Liverpool last Friday night and our big group of friends all yelled “Surprise!” The idea was hatched by Lizzy, soon to be Michelle’s sister-in-law. Facebook invitations were sent, and the orders…
JoAnn’s family knows how to throw a party. My dear wife Karen and I were fortunate enough to be part of the crew invited to the Aspen House in Radisson this past weekend to help our great friend JoAnn celebrate a nice, round number.

I chose a rather new joint on the Liverpool restaurant scene for my birthday dinner last week. My dear wife Karen and I had been to the Rio Grande previously in our two months spent in the neighborhood of Galeville before she asked me what I’d like to do after work on the night I…
The text from my terrific daughter Elisabeth asked where I’d like to meet for a birthday celebration meal. Yes, our busy schedules would allow her and George Three to break bread with my dear wife Karen and I before my Birthday Week was said and done. Where to, she asked? I went for the mid-day…
Sam sits on the stoop, cup of coffee warming her hands, aroma stirring her senses, thoughts bombarding her brain. Another Sept. 9 in my beloved city. Happy Birthday to Me! Made it again. Would you look at those people scurrying here and there! The coming of Autumn may be robbing us of our daylight, but…
My smart and beautiful daughter Elisabeth looked comfortable turning 25. I asked her if this was the birthday that made her feel older, and she just shrugged her shoulders. Good for her. On the 20-mile drive from the Little Bitty to the beautiful Brae Loch Inn in scenic Cazenovia to meet Elisabeth and her terrific…
I’m 57 years old today, this guy born in 1957. It’s my Beddian Birthday. My dear wife Karen and Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle started the day off by presenting me with a big pile of wonderful gifts. With our new-found enthusiasm for Cabernet Savignon since our spring bus tour excursion to the Finger Lakes…
