Nice moniker

I spotted this boat out of Onondaga Lake on a recent break walk from my workplace at the library. The form and the name both caught my eye.

I refuse to take the bait except for with my iPhone 6s

I rather enjoy what I spot on the 15-minute break walks from my workplace at the library. Indeed, you can get live bait 24 hours a day in the Village of Liverpool. No, the blocks of First Street do not include a true bait shop. Instead, the worms turn from a soda-like dispenser. It’s at…

How fast will they trot?

My mind is the thing that raced when I say this sign during a break walk from my work at the library. Why are they calling the runners for this event turkeys? Oh, wait. Thanksgiving is approaching!

I wonder if you can hear the shows from here

On a recent morning break stroll from my job at the library, I looked out from the marina and noticed … The Lakeview Amphitheater over on the other shore. Between the boats. That gray structure. I’d recently gone to see Lady Antebellum with my dear wife Karen for our only show this season. So I…

Onondaga Lake can set a scene

Five minutes after this, I was taking photos and videos of kids and caregivers sitting on blankets, sharing songs and stories for the library’s Storytime in the Park. Yes, this place can set a mood. Thank you, Onondaga Lake Park.

We can’t quite see the fireworks from A Bitty Better, but close

There will be events that bring fireworks over Onondaga Lake. My dear wife Karen and I were wondering how far we’d have to wander from the property around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville to see them. Not bad, we’ve discovered, this perk in our first summer since moving from the Syracuse…

First lunch down by the lake is pretty darn early

Mark it down. I picked my lunch bag up from under my desk yesterday and walked the two blocks down from my job at Liverpool Public Library. And it was good on the sunny noontime of Monday, April 10, 2017. Many folks were enjoying the spring day, with the sun shining and temperature well into…

Seagulls and a boat signal spring at Onondaga Lake

A quick walk down the block from my job at the library reveals that spring indeed is settling in over Onondaga Lake. The grass looks a little greener once I crossed the threshold into Onondaga Lake Park. A worker had aligned three picnic along the marina’s edge. Closer still to the water, the sound of…

Happy dogs at Onondaga Park stay on the leash

Midway through our return leg on our stroll with cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle at Onondaga Lake Park this past glorious Saturday, a woman ran past going the other direction on the inner trail path with her unencumbered dog trailing her. I turned my head and shouted at her. “Leash law!” Indeed.…
