>The 30th president of our country, Herbert Hoover, once uttered these famous words of hope and positive thought for our nation as we went through tough times of another era: “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Now I of course agree with the first half of the sentence but notContinue reading “>Clay Pot Chicken”

Frigid
Well the storm that swept the entire nation–from the west coast straight through to the east–finally barreled through town yesterday and the previous night…bringing with it frigid temperatures. Here’s a picture of “the mule” just before my early morning commute (thankfully I have a mere mile commute these days). And yes it was (is) asContinue reading “Frigid”

Bicycle Powered Christmas Tree
A friend sent me a link a few weeks ago (thanks Suzy!) about Christmas trees in Barcelona that are powered by bike (click here to read the story). A series of bikes are attached to generators and passersby are encouraged to take a spin for a minute or two to keep the trees lit…pretty cool.Continue reading “Bicycle Powered Christmas Tree”

Porta Biciclette (Window Bike)
The image was found here, but the little icon says SuperEdo.it What the…? I’ll be the first to admit that it’s difficult to find places to store bikes (I have six…three are parked in my living room; one hangs from the ceiling on a bicycle pulley system). But I have to admit I’ve never seenContinue reading “Porta Biciclette (Window Bike)”

Early Morning/Cazenovia Park
This photo was sent to me by my cousin, Joe Verrastro, artist and photographer. He sent it in response to a post I wrote recently regarding my own thoughts on spirituality (click here to read it)…one way he gets in touch with the Divine is through his lens and his art…and it’s easily apparent. It’sContinue reading “Early Morning/Cazenovia Park”

Winter in Buffalo
Ahh…those first few times it snows each year isn’t it beautiful (though it seems to have come significantly later the last few years…hmmm). I have always loved the change of seasons and particularly the winter (though not as much as I get older). It’s these first few snow showers of the year that make meContinue reading “Winter in Buffalo”

Easy (and delicious) Winter Frittata
Well first of all if you are a regular reader of this blog you can see by the picture at an earlier post this week that I have not gone grocery shopping…it’s mostly the same ingredients pictured. But it’s how you use and interchange the ingredients that makes things interesting, I suppose. At any rate,Continue reading “Easy (and delicious) Winter Frittata”

A Christmas Vow
OK, first a couple of things. I sometimes post with “spiritual overtones,” but rarely overtly religious…this, though, falls under the latter. And while I truly believe that all major religions walk the same path and lead in the same direction I identify myself as a Christian, albeit a progressive Christian. Sometimes I think I amContinue reading “A Christmas Vow”

It’s The Little Things
Yesterday I was out doing errands on the mule (my predominant winter bike) and stopped at a local bike shop for some advice. I needed to replace a shifter cable but I’d be darned if I couldn’t find how to remove it. I had taken the shifter off the handlebars and the cable seemed toContinue reading “It’s The Little Things”
