We have a lot of great posts this week, and I want you to enjoy and read each and every one of them.
You know the drill. The Times Union has dozens of independent bloggers and writers on this portal, and sometimes it can get overwhelming to find your favorite writers and columnists. So every Thursday, I pass up one day of my blog to showcase and promote the work of my fellow bloggers. This is good.
So let’s see who I think you should read this week, shall we?
This week’s blog list includes:
- Assemblyman Jim Tedisco’s blog, “A triple play for NY’s little leagues.“ (Read this first.)
- Scott Jarzombek’s “On and Off the Shelves” blog, “I wish my job didn’t involve bathrooms as much as it does.“
- Rob Hoffman in the “Hoffman Files” blog, “A delightful day of Jim Thorpe and pretzels.“
- David Kalish’s “The Ruminator” blog, “For my daughter, on the eve of her first driving lesson.“
- Susanne Marie Poulette’s blog, “America’s autoimmune disease.“
- Fran Rossi Szpylczyn’s “There Will Be Bread” blog, “Lent, shorter.“
- Frank Robinson’s “Rational Optimist” blog, “Trumpism reveals religious right’s moral bankruptcy.“
- Katie Lembo in the college blog, “I’m made for so much more than being a wife.“
- Donna McMullen’s blog, “The Bahamas – Private Developers vs. Government Ruin.“
- Lawrence White’s “Field of View” blog, “The Russian Sessions.“
And there you have it … a recap of some great blogs by our great TU bloggers.
Have a great day, everybody!
Chuck The Writer 
Hello Chuck – I just happened across your 2011 blog on Remembering WPTR. I’m sorry comments are closed on it, because I wanted to brag about how I worked at WPTR in 1949 as a Teen Age Disc Jockey contest winner, which ‘PTR held to attract younger audiences. My program was called Record Rendezvous, a 15 minute program featuring pop music of the day. I especially remember two staff announcers, Marty Ross and Bill Pope who took me under their wings and clued me in on how to project a “cool” radio personality using a trendy way of speaking, having young guests come in for for interviews, and encouraging calling in to “dedicate” songs to sweethearts, friends, etc.. I was 18 then, and a high school senior (Philip Schuyler High School). The beautiful building is still there, (Trinity Place) but is an apartment building called Schuyler Apartments. Thanks for the WPTR nostalgia. I’ll stay tuned for new “old stuff” about WPTR (if any).
