I swear, there are days when I watch the evening news and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is standing at the podium, trying to answer questions from the assembled reporters, and trying to give answers that reflect our President’s position on life, the universe and everything. And it took me a while to…

You want steamed hams? I got your steamed hams right here…
It seemed such an innocuous little television skit. Two minor characters on The Simpsons, Principal Seymour Skinner and his boss, Superintendent Chalmers, have a little three-minute storyline in an episode called “22 Short Films About Springfield.” In the storyline, Skinner invites Chalmers to dinner, then discovers that the dinner is burning. Rather than tell Chalmers…

The Eastern States Farmers’ Exchange Art Project
I kinda kept this one quiet. Unlike other art projects, where I chronicle everything right down to the purchase of the supplies to build the item … this time, I’m just going to show you everything at once. I recently acquired a burlap sack online. With a little yarn and some time, I turned it…

A Dunking Return with the Albany Patroons
I have to say this. If it weren’t for the Albany Patroons ten years ago, I wouldn’t have gone full-bore into photography. I shall explain. Twelve years ago, when the Patroons returned to the area for their second iteration (Micheal Ray Richardson as head coach), I had a little Nikon CoolPix 800 camera that I…

To paraphrase radio host and guest chastiser Dr. Laura, I am my kid’s dad. Example. Yesterday, I’m glancing through Facebook, and I see a message my son Kris left, as he is looking for any and all recommendations for cheap flights from Seattle to New York. Well now. This certainly means that he and the…

I’ve written in previous blog posts about my journey. It was never easy. I survived many trials – everything from vicious child abuse and horrendous bullying, to several adult struggles in parenthood and relationships. Somehow I made it through all those moments. Today … my struggles are more internal. Both physical and mental. Last Monday,…

In a previous lifetime, I was a freelance writer for the music magazine Goldmine. One of my feature stories involved an interview with all four members of the Vogues, the 1960’s vocal harmony group that had several major adult contemporary and pop hits. Bill Burkette, the lead baritone, was one of the original founding members…
