August is here and you're thinking that summer is almost over. Hold on my friends, let's not give up that "summer vibe" yet." Let's get ready for a good time at the 176th Chenango County Fair in Norwich. Whether you're a thrill-seeker (like my daughter, Tara) or you want to chill on the Ferris wheel (like me) and take in the view, this fair is for you...

Have you heard of the "Chatters"? What is a Chatter? This is a group of animal lovers that first got together in 2017 during the pregnancy of April the Giraffe at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville. If you lived in the Southern Tier (or pretty much anywhere else) when April was pregnant, we were able to keep up with her progress on the giraffe cam at Animal Adventure Park...

No ticket matched all six numbers (11,30,45,52,56, Mega Ball 20) on Friday, August 4th's drawing. That means the game will be flirting with a record jackpot on Tuesday, August 8th. On October 23rd, 2018, a record $1.537 billion dollars was sold in South Carolina and the jackpot on Tuesday night is estimated at $1.55 b...

You love to eat and I love to eat. When I was walking around Spiediefest this weekend, I could tell that we all love to eat. There were so many choices to choose from at Otsiningo Park and by the looks of the lines, we were enjoying the different foods that were being offered...

I'm finding myself on the doorstep of 60 (wow, that sounds so much older than 58), and more people ask me about retirement. The biggest questions that I'm asked are: When will I retire and where will I retire to. One thing that I tell everyone is that you have to be careful when you contemplate retiring. Too...

When you mention Syracuse sports, most people instantly think Syracuse men's basketball and the newly retired coach Jim Boeheim. If you've been a fan of the Cuse for a long time, you might recall the Syracuse football glory years and Jim Brown, head coach Dick MacPherson or Donavan McNabb...

The world around us is changing fast and I'll let you decide if it's for the better or worse. On Tuesday, August 1st, a ban on ALL incandescent light bulbs officially went into effect. Earlier this year, New York became the first state that plans to ban the sale of gas stoves, hot water heaters and oil furnaces. However the next crackdown on another ...

One of my favorite pharmacies  (CVS) is going through a rough time and I hope it'll get better but we'll see. On the national level, they are doing some belt tightening by laying off 5,000 employees as a way to cut costs. The local CVS Pharmacy is going through a different problem of their own and it's not from their own doing. The...

Guess who's breaking the bank in the NBA? If you guessed that it was the Los Angeles Lakers, then you would be wrong. It's none other than...the New York Knicks. Ok, I'm not really shocked by that either. It's been 50 years since the New York Knickerbockers won the NBA championship, however they have finally snagged a title...

One thing that my daughter, Tara has taught me through the years is to take a moment and look to the sky before heading inside at night. It's a canvas of God's glory that we take for granted as we travel on this third rock from the sun called "Earth...

When you think about going on vacation, do you ever think about going swimming...on a rooftop? How about on a rooftop in New York? Yeah, me neither. I recently ran into a website called "Roof Gnome" and it had a list called "2023"s Best Vacation Spots for Rooftop Swimming...
