I slept overnight, outside, at Henninger High School, to get these tickets to see Our President of the United States, Barrack Obama, and then waited 7 hours in line once it became daylight out, Then...  waited 2 hours in the POURING RAIN outside of Henninger High School... waiting to go through Security, just so we could go in side.  And, this is ALL that I got: Below is a pic of ALL the

Abbott Farms is having a Blueberry sale... And what a Blue-tacular sale it is!! Blueberries are 50% off 'till they are gone. They had a large wholesale buyer back out of an order so they are passing savings on to us! Normally $2.99 a pint they are selling them for $1.50 a pint or $18 a flat. Buy them all picked and freeze now for winter! They expect to have them through this weekend but

I LOVE Farmer's Markets.  And every ensuing year, I seem to enjoy it more and more.  It's not just a place to pick up the freshest fruit & vegetables grown locally, it's a whole experience.  :) **I only included the ones that are closest to me at a given day and time.  You can find a more inclusive list here: FarmShed Farmer's Market Directory New York Farmer's Market Local Harvest  Pick

Many people may not be aware of the very formal process of The Changing of The Guard at The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier  at Arlington Cemetery.  The Architect, Lorimar Rich, a Local Syracusan, not only was the architect for several of Syracuse University's buildings, including: E.I. White College of Law, Watson, Marion and Shaw Dormitories, and the renovated Archbold Gymnasium; But he was also

I figured I'd shoot for the moon, considering it was a Super Moon this year.. and played the Trifecta, Superfecta, and a couple bets on Place. For the Trifecta, I had: 1. I'll have another 2.

My city of Syracuse, broken down by it's neighborhoods... This morning's Post Standard has an article about  how the neighborhoods have changed over the years. Below is from the year 2000... Follow the graph colors.  Percentage of  those residents living below the poverty level are as follows: Green - 0 - 9.9% Yellow - 10 - 19.9% Peach - 20 - 29.9% Burnt Orange - 30 - 39.9% Mahogany - 40

A friend once told me she would love the job of naming the colors of OPI Nail Color.  What girl wouldn't, with names like: "Bastille My Heart", "Barefoot in Barcelona",  "Quarter of a Cent-Cherry" or, *my* personal favorite: "I'm Really Not A Waitress" Those are fantastic names!  I've decided recently that, if I was to change careers and name a product, it would be the names of paints used

I had just left for work and was rounding the corner onto Teal Ave. when I turned on the radio to listen to Gomez & Dave on TK99.  The news was on and I had a hard time understanding what was happening.   It was very chaotic and I didn't understand what was going on.  I honestly thought there was a hoax similar to The War of The Worlds, where people didn't know it was only a story.  I recall

Ever so slightly, but it's there. I'm on my porch, coffee beside me and The Blue Moon Cafe on in the background.  It's humid and 80 degrees already.  The wind very gently blows through a chime I have strung.  It tinkles softly as its melodious notes and warm breeze wafts its way through my hair, gently blowing a tousled  curl, giving me some relief from this cloistering end-of-the-summer heat.

 I had someone earlier today say that he was amazed.  That he has told me things he's never told another living soul before, and doesn't know if it's because of me or because of where he is at in his own life. It was a good discussion. A very good discussion.  And it makes me smile to think of  it. One brick at a time. Indeed.  © 2011 Greeneyezz

Went kayaking with a few friends. Rented at Stone's Marina, From the Rental building, the kayaks get loaded up on the truck and then we all hop in, along the sides of the truck, with a safety bar that comes down over us and prevents any one's demise.  He drops us off at the edge of his harbor and follow a rather peaceful and winding river... The river empties out into Oneida Lake.  We follow

It's been a long time since I had finished a 5K run... Running. (Ok, it was more like a very s-l-o-w JOG, but I did it!) To me, that's an accomplishment, given the crap I've been dealing with the past 2 years since my niece was killed, and not exercising and putting on weight via stress-eating. So on some level I'm a bit embarrassed on one hand to think it took me 48:57 to run it, but on the

Pink was her favorite color. And this was her first 5K The Race For The Cure. 2009.  And to see the wonderment and excitement play across her features as she looked around in awe at the thousands who came out to either Walk, Run, or Support each other, and all in a sea of pink, was priceless to watch. The months leading up to this was actually comical. She knew I, for several years had Run/

I have certainly gotten better at this over the years.   I think this is what they mean by 'if I knew then, what I know now..." or better yet.. "Youth is wasted on the young!"  I came across today's Inspiration via my inbox for The Daily OM.  I'm placing it here as a reminder for me because, while I've improved in this area as time has gone on... there is always, Always room for improvement here

I recall a viral video from last holiday season of chorus singers from a symphony singing Hallelujah in the food court of a large mall. Very inspirational and uplifting. What's special about the video below? It's the same kind of video, though sung and conducted by Syracuse's own Daniel Hege and The Syracuse Symphony on December 8, 2010, in Carousal Mall.

Does anyone else have a problem with this? It's "SeniorPeopleMeet.com" . I know that Facebook generates the ads you see on your sidebar based on info from your profile etc. i.e. I'm single, hense an ad about 'Dating'. But for Cripes sake...
