Here we go. Competition Season 2018 results. Earlier this year, I entered ten images – some classics, some new pictures – in the San Francisco Bay Month of Photography “Call for Art” event. Four years ago, my image of a stretched-out pitcher, The Three-Two Pitch, claimed a silver award in the show. Here’s the ten…

A horse with a big brass set of stones…
I swear, this never gets old. Someone tries to submit a horse name for registration. In order to register a horse name, the name must be submitted with an organization called The Jockey Club. The name must be no longer than 18 letters (with spaces), and must not contain profanity, slander, or something that would…

Yesterday morning. Woke up. One eye on my cell phone, sifting through all the Facebook messages. And there it was. A message that Wheel of Fortune would hold tryouts for their game show at Saratoga Harness. Yeah, I know, Saratoga Casino and Hotel, but it’s Saratoga Harness to me, if you’ve got a problem with…

The GLF Quality Project – completion!
Yesterday, I resolved to finish the final stitchings for the GLF Quality burlap art project. Here’s what things looked like in the morning. Do you see those thick white strips of yarn? Those strips join other strips that are sewn into the burlap fabric with thinner black yarn. This gives the project nice raised edges,…

There’s a new Internet meme floating around, suggesting that whatever song was #1 on the charts on your 14th birthday would determine your future in life. Gee, and I thought it was whatever song was #1 when you were born was the determining factor… Okay, I’m willing to play. For arguments and purposes, my 14th…
Read MoreThe difference between wings and tenders
Last night, I played trivia at Rivers Casino. Of late, trivia has been a bit of a struggle – the game was cancelled last week due to a casino poker tournament (but not before most of the trivia teams showed up, not knowing that trivia was cancelled that night), and I’m still getting used to…
Read MoreABC’s addiction to Roseanne
Straight out. I was never a fan of Roseanne Barr. I maybe watched three episodes of her TV show when it debuted back in 1989 or so. For me, it wasn’t funny. For millions of other TV viewers, it was enjoyable. And for years, it was one of ABC’s top rated TV shows; it also…
Read MoreLe’Veon Bell – running back extraordinaire, touchdown specialist … rapper?
I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. And if you don’t like that, then go ahead and root for the lesser NFL team if you like. That being said, I’ve been fascinated of late with the current contract dispute between star running back Le’Veon Bell and the Steelers. No matter how good you are as a…
Read MoreThe GLF Quality Burlap Project – almost done…
All I can say is that it’s been a very dedicated and therapeutic run. And I’m almost done. As you can see from the picture at right, I am almost finished with my GLF Quality burlap sack stitching project. What was originally an old burlap gunny sack was rethreaded with yards and yards of yarn,…
