Testicle Festival


It was a great Saturday to be in upstate New York! Frost on the roof (our first this fall), a fire in the wood stove (not our first), a SUNNY morning (all too rare this year), the trash to the transfer station (always a cleansing experience), retrieval of our stuff that didn't sell in a friend's garage sale (now really - just because we didn't want it...), relocation of one of our compost bins (Did you know that oyster shells just don't like to decompose? The shells were still there from many Thanksgivings ago. We seem to have enjoyed a LOT of oysters that year!), etc. etc.

But all work and no play can be dull so went to the play "Around the World in 80 Days" at Syracuse Stage. We've had season tickets there for at least 30 years and the plays get better every year - just as good (in my humble opinion) as those in NYC. And of course if you go "around the world" you have to have dinner at Riley's where the food is always great. We were reminded that his annual testicle festival starts on Monday (you were probably wondering if I would EVER get to the title of today's blog) - choose from turkey, sheep, bull, bison - who knows what he'll find this year. Perhaps YOU should look for a festival near you!
