I’m probably the kookiest harness horse better in the world. I’ll bet on a horse’s name, I’ll bet on a horse’s color, I’ll bet on a horse that dropped two pounds of manure before the start of the race. And once I start betting on a horse, I’ll keep dropping coin on that stud race…

Protecting my assets and where my ass sits.
It seems like a simple chore. And you really never think about it – and when you do, you’re like, “Oh jeez, I gotta do that?” I did it yesterday. And it wasn’t that difficult. Let me explain. Every few years, I replace the toilet seat in my apartment. And that means going to the…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Popcorn
Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh batch of popcorn? I know I do. But making popcorn has its quirks. You can get one of those hot air poppers to make popcorn. Or you could get some bags of microwaveable popcorn. Heck, I think there’s still some old Jiffy-Pop popcorn mixes that you can heat up on…
Read MoreThe Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of September 28, 2025
So … we are at the one-year mark of the creation of this latch hook rug. One year ago, I took the original picture of the Woodstock Covered Bridge in Vermont that formed the basis of this artwork. A simple covered bridge that is part of the town’s infrastructure. And yeah, I thought this would…

Good morning, blog readers, and I hope you have great things planned for this autumn weekend. And by “great things planned,” that must include reviewing the blogs and photos and thoughts of the fantastic people whose works are part of my personal blogroll. As you know, each Saturday I shift the focus from my personal…
Read MoreOh, and these videos also talk about sawing wood.
There’s a whole subgenre of YouTube videos that are both completely relaxing and intriguing. I’m talking about lumber videos. These are the ones where someone finds a gigantic tree trunk or burled wood stump, then they take it to a gigantic sawmill and slice that bad boy up into fantastic planks. These planks have incredible…

I’ve mentioned in the past that my Grandma Betty (God rest her soul) loved yard sales and flea markets and estate sales. And she would take me on such shopping trips. I’ve also blogged in the past about how one of her flea market trips included the old Neponset Drive-In in Boston. The Neponset has…
Read MoreJimmy Kimmel’s censorship had its roots from a 65-year-old bathroom joke
When it comes to network television, we normally get about 100% of whatever a network produces. There are some exceptions, depending on whether the local station might have a concern about the content of the network program. This is not unusual. I recall an episode of the seemingly harmless sitcom Valerie getting pre-empted in the…
Read MorePlanting Peaches with my girlfriend over the weekend
A week ago, I purchased a blooming cornflower plant from a roadside orchard. Not wanting to damage my car’s leather seats (and my car’s trunk was already filled with my New York State Fair artwork and pickups), I placed the plant in a cardboard peach box. Yep, the plant rode shotgun in a peach box.…
Read MoreA trip to the Big E, 2025 edition
I can tell you this. I’ve had better Competition Seasons in the past. This year, my photos have gone ribbon-less, and when one of my artworks finishes in second place in a one-entry race … you start to develop a complex. So I’m kinda hoping that a trip to the Eastern States Exposition – also…
