And it’s fifth place for the Limp Lizard squad

The finish for the second half of the season in the Thursday Night Men’s League at Bowling Green in North Syracuse is in. Our Limp Lizard squad finished fifth out of 12 teams. We went into the final week of league play in a position night, rolling against the very good Creno and Kelly team.…

Say hello to the Limp Lizard bowling squad

I am quite happy with the new sponsor of our squad in the Thursday Night Men’s Bowling League at Bowling Green in North Syracuse. Limp Lizard has replaced Cici’s. Thankfully. At long last, in my book. We rolled an entire season not receiving anything from the buffet pizza franchise that closed its Syracuse area locations…

Not so mighty tacos

The new addition to the Central New York takeout food parade caught my attention as I drove down Route 11 coming home from the store one day. Mighty Taco. Didn’t you have those out in California?, I quizzed me dear wife Karen. She concurred. We went this past Saturday of our three-day holiday weekend, after…

A sticky situation at our bowling league

I was the first man up on lane four for our eight minutes of bowling warmup Thursday night. Old Man Bialczak, fresh off a day hanging out with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle at the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood and anxious to loosen up these creaky joints of mine, carefully…

Salad or something bigger?

The Pie Guys for a quick dinner sounded good to my dear wife Karen and I as my Thursday Night Bowling League picked up again after our two-week break for the holidays. Karen, wise woman that she is, ordered the small antipasto, with Italian dressing. We know from experience that these folks make a mean…

First half ends with a 7th-place finish

When last I reported in from the Thursday Night Men’s League rolling at Bowling Green in North Syracuse, our Cici’s Pizza squad was battling mightily to remain among the top teams for the first half of our season. Nope. When the first 15 weeks were said and done, we’d finished in seventh place out of…

Sock it to me one more time

Technically I was right. When I showed up for the Thursday Night Men’s League at Bowling Green in North Syracuse on Sunday Morning — and yes, you read that right — our squad was listed second on the standings sheet. Much to my surprise, though, we had the same record as the team listed above…

First place for my bowling squad after week six

I knew we’d been doing well after a slow start this season. Cici’s Pizza was rolling along OK in the Thursday Night Men’s League at Bowling Green. Our squad of five was making the most of our handicap pins through the first six weeks on the cozy 12 lanes in North Syracuse, N.Y. But still…

We’re back on the lanes at Bowling Green

Let’s call it my awesome overlap. Golf season ended Wednesday night. Bowling season started Thursday night. The squad was rolling in Bowling Green. For some reason, my week one brain always tells me that 6:30 p.m. gives me plenty of time to get to North Syracuse to lace up my shoes for those precious minutes…

Cherry tree picking

A cherry tree will be going into the backyard of the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. My dear wife Karen and I took the trip to Chuck Hafner’s Garden Center in North Syracuse this past weekend, walking the aisles under the sun out back and inside the greenhouses, too. We spied…
