Syracuse Sky Chiefs game at NBT Bank Stadium.

Watching "Dino Dana". Alice used to wear the Kahuna shirt. Elliott continues the tradition.

2017/08/02 21:30 Late night Goony Golf.


One day I'm gonna understand
The way that my heart works,
And then I'm gonna work it out,
So that I won't get hurt.

But if anyone asks you where I've gone,
Oh, don't say where I am,
Just say you saw me and I'm doin' fine,
'Cause I'm doin' the best I can.

Too much rain fallin'.
Too much rain fallin'.
There's just been too much rain fallin', down on me.

“Too Much Rain” by Carole King

Within the valley of shadowless death 
They pray for thunderclouds and rain, 
But to the multitude who stand in the rain 
Heaven is where the sun shines. 

"Mad Man Moon" by Genesis

This latest iteration of my rants and rambles will still be much like past versions. I will continue to share way too much information. I will continue to be as weird as always. I am most likely still incredibly boring.


2017/07/30 14:00 Take me out to the ballgame.

Lifeguard duty today. One of many hats I wear.

Downtown Lake George.

Elliott and I looking at pictures of Elliott on my phone.

2017/07/15 19:30 Sylvan Beach Amusement Park, then Harpoon Eddie's for a late lunch, and then home for swimming. A busy and totally exhausting day - at least for me - the kids not so much.

2017/07/21 10:30 I uploaded my first video to my new YouTube channel last night. Somehow I managed to tack on four minutes of dead air space. I think a few people thought that was the best part of my video. It was unintentional. I would think that if you were a radio DJ and you did a show that included four minutes of dead air space that would be a career ender. For good or bad I answer to no one and so the show will go on. I updated the link so that it goes to the revised video which is minus the dead air.

Later in the evening I went to the 41st edition of the Sub Rosa sessions at SubCat.

Alice joined Elliott on the beach.

I have been threatening for more than six months that I was starting a YouTube channel. I finally published the first introductory video tonight.

Amanda Rogers and Mike Powell were the featured guests.

All tired out after a day in the sun and waiting for the Pop pop taxi back to the Tiki Motor Inn.

2017/07/01 12:00 Building a bug house at the Home Depot.

Shrimps at Harpoon Eddie's.

So much rain. So very much rain. Everything is wet. Where is my Summer?

Tristan said the elephant was 'corrupted'.

2017/07/02 10:30 Eating breakfast at the Little Gem Diner; NY strip, eggs, homefries, and a strawberry milkshake.

2017/07/09 23:00 I got some more work done on the pool deck today. Almost got the addition - the step up to the new pool - completed. 

The kids insisted on sitting outside. It was a nice day.

I checked in with Facebook. Eating dinner with beloved family was suggested as topic. Dysfunctional and weird wasn't an option.

Too cold for this time of year.

2017/08/02 18:30 Dinner at A&W tonight.

2017/08/02 16:00 Hung out by the pool today at the Tiki Resort.

2017/07/11 09:00 Yesterday I got the deck addition done and the ladder installed in the pool.

My parents were having two trees taken down today. My Dad and I sat and watched the work.

The cutest little pink cowgirl.

2017/07/22 18:00 Today we celebrated Elliott's second birthday.

2017/07/08 21:00 Last swim of the day. Rain and cold don't stop these guys! 

2017/07/28 20:00 Polar bear club and it is the end of July. This weather is ridiculous.

2017/07/14 11:30

Home and time for one last swim for the day.

2017/07/27 08:30 My second video has now been published.

2017/08/01 08:00 I have been retired, or unemployed (depends how you look at it), for five years now. Like everything else in my life nothing has worked out the way that I envisioned it. C'est la vie.

2017/07/31 23:00 All settled in at the Tiki Motor Inn in Lake George. We have two adjoining hotel rooms. Karen and I, Adison and Elliott, along with Robert, Tristan, and Alice are going to spend five days here. Vacation?

2017/07/16 23:00 Another weekend comes to a close. The kids just hung around the pool all day.
