Syracuse, NY: Cloudy but warm this morning. Went to the club house at the Green Lakes golf course for breakfast. We were the only ones in the restaurant. Got there just before they stopped serving breakfast. After that we drove to North Syracuse. Couldn’t find my old high school. Drove by our old house and the neighborhood didn’t look as bad as I thought it would. The Roots still live across the road. Herman was out and I stopped and talked with him. Didn’t think he knew who I was, but he remembered when my father planted the two maple trees in the front yard. Drove around some more and then called Jim McMahon who used to live next door to us as kids. We ended up going over to their house in Baldwinsville. Spent the whole afternoon there blabbing with Jim and Carol. Had a great time. Then we went to Lock 24 Restaurant for dinner. On our way back to the campground at Green Lakes there was a huge rainbow over the city. Sky threatening to the west, clearing behind us. Would have loved to do some biking on the Erie Canal bike path, but no time and bad weather. We start the drive home tomorrow morning (sigh).
