Editor’s note: The scribe is under the weather this week so we’re running a never-before-printed column on the Sept. 30 breakfast and hope he is shining like the sun again soon.

In his youth, one of the Old Men of the Mountain had a summer job, jumping from a platform 80 feet high, wearing a cape that was set ablaze, and landing in the water below.

Summer is over. Long live the autumn.

MIDDLEBURGH — We had to add a couple of tables to the long table this Tuesday, Aug. 26, as we settled in at the Middleburgh Diner.

SCHOHARIE — As we arrived at the Your Way Café this week, someone commented that it was over 20 degrees warmer than last Tuesday.

MIDDLEBURGH — Another Tuesday morning, another OMOTM breakfast to enjoy with the OFs. Get up, get dressed, get ready to go.

MIDDLEBURGH — The OMOTM arrived on time — that means anytime we get there — at the Middleburgh Diner on another fine summer’s morning, July 16.

DELANSON — OK, it is summertime now. It was dry, it was sunny, it was humid, and it was hot! Well into the 90s even up here in the mountains.

SCHOHARIE — Some days are just harder to wake up to than others. Tuesday, June 17, was one of those days for the OMOTM.
