The nation was full of hope and fears in so many ways back in 1961 when these folks at NASA were busting butt to keep up with the Russians, a President on small screens seen by huge groups voicing dreams and concerns as fragmented groups wondered if they could come together to accomplish this greater…
The Christmas tree at the very center of Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA caught my eye on the one day I rushed around to complete my shopping for my dear wife Karen. I was hit hard by the angle above, and knew I’d hold onto it for the first day of…
I do believe the little ghosts on the display on the wall at Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA have something to do with the social media platform Snapchat. On the way to grab dinner with my best bud KP, I was a few minutes early. So I wandered around the outside…
No doubt he’s an odd duck, but wildly intelligent. That much I was certain of even before my dear wife Karen and I took in the Black Friday 6:50 p.m. showing of Rules Don’t Apply in the Regal Cinemas’ theater at Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA. When I left after the…
Are they here to help us or are they here to hurt us? That’s the crux of Arrival from the start to finish of the 1-hour, 56-minute science fiction offering from director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Eric Heisserer.

I knew the moment would come when I had to say goodbye to The Little Bitty. And I knew I would be very sad. This kind house in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood did me and my dear wife Karen right. For a dozen years, it kept us safe and comfortable. Inside its walls…
When I posted this story last week, Facebook didn’t allow me the proper linking photo characteristics. I want to give it another chance. Some quarter century ago, Jim Horsman wrote a story about Halloween. He liked the tale of three characters he’s made up in his mind, sure. But the Syracuse-area man stuck it in…
After we got the keys and poked our head into A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, my dear wife Karen drove the two miles down the road to leave me back off at the library to finish my Friday work day. Then came three days of packing up our lives at the…
I woke up Wednesday morning and was semi-startled by the sight from the front window. Our cars were getting hit by a dusting of snow on Oct. 26, 2016. By the time I was ready to hit the road to my job at the Liverpool Public Library, I had to take a brush to the…
