So after a 1-1 split at the Armory, the Albany Patroons did a three-game road trip to Quebec. Three games in three days in the frozen North. Fun stuff. Well, they came back from their Quebec road trip with three victories. Nice. First off was a 90-80 triumph in Montreal against the expansion Toundra de…

That one moment at the Oscars that really screwed up everything.
I really enjoyed the Academy Awards last night. Seven statues for Everything Everywhere All At Once. A trophy for Brendan Fraser, whose performance in the film The Whale was nothing short of mesmerizing. Jamie Lee Curtis took home an Oscar, something that her Oscar-nominated parents didn’t get to do in their lifetimes. And “Naatu Naatu”…

I received this coupon in the mail – it offered discounts and rebates on various items for my 2017 Chevrolet Volt Premier (“Lightning’s Girl”). Well, some new windshield wipers and a cabin filter and an air filter with discounts might be worth it – preventive maintenance and all, don’tcha know – so I scheduled an…

Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The joy and sadness of Yvonne Barrett
For a brief period in the late 1960’s, Yvonne Barrett was a popular singer on the Australian TV shows and their pop charts. She was one of several young stars who appeared on local television shows and performed popular tracks – whether they were covers of American pop hits or some locally-written songs – and,…
Read MoreHey Stewarts, $5 / 2 = what??
I appreciate the local Stewarts Shops in the Capital District. Have for years. You can keep your Wawa and your Sheetz and your Cumberland Farms and all the other little rinky-dink food-and-gas outlets. I need me a pint of Philly Vanilla, a Peanut Butter & Butter on a kaiser bun, and a bottle of Diet…
Read MoreWhy pay $30 for a $2 Trump bill when I can sell you a Trump $1 for only $15?
I saw this yesterday and almost laughed my head off. A company calling itself “Proud Patriots” is offering a new $2 bill with Donald Trump’s face on it. No, I’m serious. Take a look at this advertisement. Wow. A $2 legal tender Trump bill. Just 65,000 more of these and I can purchase a night…
Read MoreThe AGFA Bridge Over Ansco Lake in the Ocean State
I took this photo 12 years ago. It was one of my earliest successful “splitfilm” photos, where I shot two rolls of film in the same camera. Ah, my sweet shot of expired Ansco 616 film against 35mm AGFA Vista color print film, against a murky day at Washington Park in Albany. The photo claimed…
Read MoreAlbany Patroons 114, Lehigh Valley 107 – and how about some 3-D Patroons shots?
My first photography adventures began way back in 2005, when I took my little Nikon D70 with its kit lens to an Albany Patroons game and got some images for my efforts. I learned a lot in those early days. I learned that a camera that could barely achieve an ISO of 1600, with a…
