Two-fer Response; David vs Goliath (Girl)

In the April 23, 2008 edition of the Skaneateles Press, Ellen Leahy ( eleahy@cnylink.com ) wrote an ‘opinion’ about her fond memory of ‘A Feldmann’. I would reprint the article here, but I cannot find it at their http://www.cnylink.com page. It was a funny, but slammy, rememberance of Ellen and her friend at a local bar (30 years ago) being approached by one of the Feldmann Boys, being offered ‘a beer’, and then 1 beer for 2 girls being delivered.

What makes a girls’ night different from other nights? Maximum girlieness. How you define that depends on how your group likes to bond.

One teriffic idea is the Main House at The Skaneateles Suites; sleeps up to eight Girls in four Bedrooms. Smaller number of Girls? Try a Bungalow.

The Creamery, a vital part of late 19th–:early 20th century agriculture and commerce, centralized milk processing. In the early 1990s the Skaneateles Historical Society restored this important period structure as a local museum with space for artifacts, historical research, records and archives. The building to the right served as the boiler plant for the Creamery. Auxiliary buildings were located between the two.
The Present —
Today the Creamery is one of Skaneateles’s primary culural centers, housing a growing local history museum, busy community room and facilities for research, care of records and archives, as well as the site of monthly programs of local historic interest, The boiler plant became a residence with an added garage. The buildings between the Creamery and the boiler plant were demolished.
The Future —
The new museum expansion will incorporate the former boiler plant to feature the Boat/Transportation Museum. The two buildings will be connected by a wing adjacent to Skaneateles Creek. A small addition will be built at the northeast corner of the Creamery. These much needed additional spaces will enhance community research and records areas, and an income-generating museum shop to help support the facility.

There is a story here.

Several years ago we took some of the Suite Dreams Staff to Mexico for an incentive contest vacation. With us was Dwain, our Property Manager and ‘Fixit Guy’. Our hotel had these towel origami swans, and Dwain thought that was way cool. He tried to get the ‘girls’ to add this to our rooms, but they (the ‘girls’) all ducked and bobbed and weaved and, well, basically refused.

So Dwain got a book and got to work making swans and dogs and top-hats and more, basically shaming them (the ‘girls’). Today, Dwain still trains the new ‘Guest-Keepers’ (we don’t have ‘maids’) and occasionaly spot checks the rooms for Swan Origami Quality Control.

Who reads these, anyway? What is it that makes us so passionate about ourselves and our community?

I started in May 2006 because I didn’t know what a Blog was, and Trent Blizzard at http://www.blizzardinternet.com told me it would be good for business. (He was right, it is).
