Now that summer is officially over, sports has begun in super-high gear around here. School sports and especially professional sports seems to be Upstate New York’s favorite pastime. People are really passionate about their sports up here. I noticed that in my local newspaper, the sports section of the newspaper is now larger and fuller [...]
Have you been watching ABC’s “Good Morning, America” show? I don’t watch television, so I am a little out of the loop. Apparently the media morning show has been having a “Whistle-Stop Tour” across the country, and they came to New York State. They took some time in Rome (only 30 minutes from where I [...]
