Nostalgia Day
We left Hannibal this morning to spend the day in Ithaca. Julian and I both got degrees from Cornell, and this is where we met. So how much nostalgia can two people cram into one day? Plenty! We started off in Collegetown, which has a few leftover establishments from our time here. First we went …

Rudy’s!
Rudy’s (generally referred to in my family as the fish fry stand) is an institution in Oswego. Generations of locals and more than a few tourists have made pilgrimages there during the seven months that the restaurant is open each year. Naturally, we had to do so on this trip. When I was a kid, …

Bad News for Leaf-Peepers
People who drive around Central New York to gawk at falling leaves this fall could be sorely disappointed. In years past, the leaves would be near peak color at this time of year. However, climate change has left its mark. The leaves are slow to change color and are relatively muted. My brother-in-law has been …

Destiny and the Dinosaur
No, this is not a post on evolution, creationism, or anything in between. We are visiting my mother and sister in my hometown of Hannibal. This is a small farming town north of Syracuse that hasn’t changed much in population since I grew up. Several of my high school classmates and a few former teachers …

The Central New York Car Culture
Some places are known to have large numbers of a particular type of car. Seattle, for example, probably has more Priuses than anywhere else in Washington state. Here in my birth turf of Central New York, the major vehicles on the road are trucks and SUV’s. I can understand trucks since this is a rural …

French with a Side of Food
Julian signed up for a noncredit French class at a local community college last fall. He wanted to brush up in advance of a future vacation to France. I chose not to sign up with him that quarter, preferring a quiet evening to myself. He’d come home from class with good reports about the professor: …

Bye-Bye, Basil
Today was the first day of autumn. The temperatures at night have hovered in the low 50’s, which means my basil plants are ready to give up. We got several batches of pesto and numerous other sprigs for dishes from only three plants. The peppers and tomatoes may go next week. That leaves the perennial …

It Was Bound to Happen
You may call an earlier post about couples attaching locks to the Duwamish Head Bridge. Our friend Gayle, who first alerted us to this, sent me this link. Kids, bring your own wire cutters, especially if you threw the keys into the Duwamish. Chances are the keys have disintegrated in the toxic muck.

Haikus for September in Seattle
It rained hard today. It seems as if everyone forgot how to drive in the rain. As a result, traffic downtown was awful. So, with nothing better to do on the bus, I wrote a couple of haikus. Rush Hour I’m just killing time Drawing smiley faces on Steamed-up bus windows. Exercise in Futility …

Now We’re Talking Team-Building!
Our department went to a baseball game last week, the Seattle Mariners versus the Texas Rangers. This plot was hatched last year, but we couldn’t find a suitable date for everyone to attend a day game then. We contributed for tickets, and our boss was generous enough to top off the fund so we could …
