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…

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…

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…
Read MoreHey NCAA, do you know how to spell our college’s name? #LetsGoBlue
Yesterday, I put on my Hamilton College sweatshirt, sat in front of my computer, and simultaneously watched the Hamilton College women’s ice hockey team play Colby in the semifinals of the NESCAC Championships – and flipped back and forth to watch the Hamilton men’s basketball team face off against Montclair State for the first round…
