I haven’t done one of these Caption Time photos in a while, but this came across my FB feed and I couldn’t resist. This is actually from the official James Taylor fan page, and it shows … well … the singer-songwriter posing next to … er … um … Now I could come up with…

Halloween in the time of COVID-19
Ah, Halloween. The one day of the year when I can’t get my work done, because every time I sit down, someone knocks on my door, I go to see who it is, there’s four kids in costumes and two parents just a few feet away, and they’re all yelling “Trick or Treat, Trick or…
Read MoreThe racehorse that made a right turn
I’ve seen many things at horse racing tracks. I’ve seen a horse buck his rider and keep on racing with the rest of the thoroughbreds. I’ve heard of horses with silly names like Bofa Deez Nutz and Hoof Hearted. But this story takes the cake. And we have to go to West Virginia, to a…
Read MoreWow, Spectrum … just straight-up wow.
It’s time for a little normalcy in my world. Not much normalcy, but I’ll take what I can get. The National Football League has games scheduled. Sunday afternoon contests. And if nothing else, I can sit and watch several games at once by putting my television on the NFL RedZone channel, a channel I’ve subscribed…
Read MoreResults from the 42nd Annual Photo Regionals
It’s Saturday afternoon, and I just received an e-mail from Albany Center Gallery. I can feel my heart pounding right now. It’s been three years since my neon dancing artwork Step and Pivot made the cut for the then-39th edition of the prestigious Capital District Photo Regionals. And through all the craziness that’s gone on…

Hey there everybody, you know what time it is, it’s time to check out the latest blog posts, articles, photographs and musings from those wonderful people over at my personal blogroll. You know, that list of links that runs down the right side of my blog page. Yes, that one. These are the kinds of…
Read MoreThe Flight Pins
Every year, around the first week of September, I look for the flight pins. They’re somewhere. But I can’t immediately find them. Eventually, by September 8th, I find them. Both safe. Both ready to wear. One pin is an old United Airlines souvenir “junior pilot” pin. The other is a gold-colored American Airlines “junior stewardess”…

A little trip to the Yamaguchie to Support the USPS
Back in 1963, the U.S. Postal Service debuted a brand new mascot – a stylized drawing of a letter carrier, a mascot named “Mr. Zip.” Although you don’t see Mr. Zip that often today, he’s still associated with the U.S. Postal Service. But, unfortunately, the Postal Service has been under attack by Donald Trump throughout…
Read MoreThe Return of the Playlists
During my college radio years – the early college radio years, from 1981 to 1985 – we had a strict rule. Whatever a DJ played on the air had to be written down on a special sheet of paper. This was your playlist. It didn’t matter if you played ten Beatles records in a row,…
Read MoreCome on, 2020, don’t take The Venture Bros. away, too…
I saw the tweet from series co-creator Jackson Publick, and it caught me with a punch in the guts. Unfortunately, it’s true: #VentureBros has been canceled. We got the highly disappointing news a few months ago, while we were writing what would have been season 8. We thank you, our amazing fans, for 17 years…
