Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
On February 14th, a school in Florida began the day with kids arriving for class. By the end of the day, their worst fears came true. A student – one of their own – arrived on campus with an AR-15 assault rifle and started shooting his classmates. He killed seventeen people and wounded fourteen others. …
Read MoreSeveral of my Facebook friends have shared a picture from an upcoming charity project. The picture works as such – instead of giving up some pleasurable item for Lent, like sweets or the like … do something charitable that will help others. So I decided to join the project … and am doing my own…
Read MoreMy Star Trek fandom is – well – balanced. If I enjoy a TV series, I’ll watch it from start to finish and over and over again. Loved the original series. Loved Next Generation. Even loved Voyager. But after one season of Star Trek: Discovery, the new Star Trek iteration on my CBS All Access…
Read MoreI love this idea. Love love love love it. According to this news report in The Saratogian, the Malta Drive-In will host a flea market on select Saturdays in 2018.

Read MoreOne of my favorite music groups – regardless of genre – is the vocal harmony quartet Manhattan Transfer. I’ve dug their sound all the way back to high school, when our music teacher brought in a copy of their LP Extensions and played it for us. I was hooked. All these years (and several enjoyable…
Read MoreI do enjoy a good documentary now and again … especially ones that expose the seamier, grittier side of corporations, businesses and organizations. Which is why I’ve started following a new podcast, and have recently binge-watched a new Netflix documentary series. Oh yeah, and I’m waiting for new episodes of an old CNBC favorite. Let…
