Day 272 Sam Patch and Cuyler Cook

I did more stepping into the past today with a visit to the Charlotte Cemetery. It’s a place I’d been meaning to get to for a long time, but never seemed to pass on my walks. Actually it’s fairly easy to find – next to Riverview highrise apartments on River St. – across the street from the […]

Day 269

This weekend I did some walking in Webster Park, which runs right along Lake Ontario, although there is no beach but some nice stones for sitting and for skipping. Mostly it consists of open fields, playgrounds and picnic pavilions. When I was a kid , the highlight of our summer was the American Legion picnic […]

A meal here combines food with entertainment, and if you are able to catch a ball of rice in your mouth, you become part […]

Day 264

I’m one of those annoying people who considers every day a gift from God, and every warm, sunny day after Labor Day an extra special gift, like that gift that comes in a big box, perfectly wrapped in foil paper, tied with matching ribbon, and topped with a huge colorful bow. Today was a day just like that. […]
