Read MoreIt’s official. Yesterday, the National Arena League took action against the troubled Albany Empire. After weeks of shenanigans and off-field drama that made the team – and the league – a national laughingstock, the NAL has expelled the Albany Empire from their organization. Can’t say as I didn’t see this coming. Nah, I didn’t see…
Read MoreA while back, I was at the Helderberg Escarpment at Thatcher Park. For those who are not familiar, the Helderberg Escarpment is an overlook that gives a fantastic view of Albany and the surrounding counties.

I have to tell you a secret. I almost missed the deadline for the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon’s entries. See, I thought the entries were to be delivered to the Fairgrounds by June 17th. And I prepared for that date, hoping to get my last two photos done in time for shipping. Well, guess…

I grab the car door handle, the car won’t unlock. I have to manually press a button on the key fob to unlock the car…
Read MoreGood morning to all my wonderful blog readers. And thankfully, we can see the sunshine out today. I don’t have to open my window and stare out into a recreation of Mad Max: Fury Road, and then fire up that AQI meter on my phone and see the air quality index has landed on TILT.…

Read MoreIt is no secret that I enjoy professional wrestling. Good people know not to bother me on Wednesday nights lest they interrupt my AEW Dynamite binging.
