My dear wife Karen and I decided a drive 30 miles east to the Turning Stone Resort and Casino for a visit to the unlimited buffet was a darn good idea when I took a half-day worth of comp time from the library last Friday afternoon. The food was great, as usual. I ate two…
When the best pros in the world are swinging their sticks in Augusta, Ga., for the Masters, KP, Tater and I always have the itch to be playing golf in Syracuse. Not this year. Not on any of our courses. Yes, the snow has melted, finally, after our 118 1/2 inches for the season. But…
I hear it often when I decide to write about America’s continued fascination with the singing competition, whether it be “American Idol,” “The Voice” or “The Sing-Off.” But watch them I do, on FOX for the first through double-digit years now, and NBC for the last two for a shorter but equally devoted duration.

This August I marveled at the bright colors around the grounds at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino some 25 miles down the Thruway from Syracuse. Here’s the post with my pictures from that lovely day. On the way back to our car with my dear wife Karen from the dinner with the kids to…
My dear wife Karen and I arrived a bit early for my Beddian Birthday dinner celebration with the kids Sunday at the big buffet restaurant at Turning Stone Resort and Casino some 25 miles up the New York State Thruway from Syracuse. It seems I told Karen that set 4:30 as our meeting time but…

The name may conjur up a dusky little backwoods joint where somebody’s playing banjo on the sagging porch, but certainly not at this place my dear wife Karen chose to celebrate the cornerstone dinner of her Birth Week celebration 2014. When we walked into the lobby of…
It had been while since my dear wife Karen and I had gone to a concert in the Turning Stone Resort and Casino Event Center, but when I heard the word that Carlos Santana was bringing his guitar to the 5,000-seat room just 30 miles east of Syracuse, I knew that would make one heckuva…
After our delicious buffet lunch Saturday, my dear wife Karen and I were glad she had purposely parked in a lot far from our destination. We were at a spot filled with beautiful grounds, and our path to the car took us past carefully groomed gardens. We wondered out loud how many workers are tasked…
As we sat eating the quite distinguished buffet lunch at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, N.Y., late Thursday morning, KP and I made the final decision. Despite the 2:20 tee time set at the start of the week at beautiful resort course Shenandoah, the eldest of the three Turning Stone pro-tournament-worthy layouts,…
