A Collection of Lenticular Canadian Christmas Coins
In 2007, the Royal Canadian Mint commenced a line of commemorative 50-cent pieces, each one featuring a Christmas or holiday-themed lenticular artwork. As you might know from reading my blog, a lenticular artwork features an image that, if you tilt the picture at a certain angle, the image itself will slightly move or show depth.…

The CO Railfan’s Dream
Here I am, once again, parked on the banks of the Sacandaga River. Here I am, poised and ready for one of the few times when the Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railroad journeys from Corinth to Hadley – and, in doing so, crosses the Sacandaga. Yeah, I know I blogged about taking photos at the…
Read MoreThe Microphone and the Amplifier
After hosting several “fill-in” trivia games for other trivia hosts, I received my first-ever regular trivia night – Tuesday evenings at Beer Bones Bar and Grille in Loudonville. Last week’s debut went very well, with seven teams competing for the big prize (a gift card from Beer Bones Bar and Grille). So this week, I…
Read MoreThe Hour of St. Francis – a “Reefer Madness” religious anthology series
Who doesn’t love a dose of cheezy cinema? The kind of movies where you expect to see silhouettes of Tom Servo and Crow T Robot in the lower right corner? Yeah, those films. Well, I’ve got one for you today. Follow along with me on this. You’re probably familiar with “Reefer Madness,” a film originally…

It’s the 1970’s, and my parents invest in cable television. At the time, the biggest thrill cable television provided for me was the ability to watch stations like WSBK in Boston, as well as three New York stations – WNEW, WOR and WPIX.

Operation Toy Train and the Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railway 2025
I think I’ve developed a new “season” in my photographic life. There’s “Competition Season,” where I enter my photos in various shows. There’s “Charity Season,” where the sale of some of my works help charitable endeavors. And I think I’ve organically developed “Railfan Season,” where I spend wintertime chasing various railroads around the Northeast, and…

Good morning, everybody. Hope your mid-November weekend plans are pleasant and that you’ve got everything under control. And by “under control,” I mean that you’re not doing anything out of the ordinary until you take a moment and enjoy this week’s blogroll recap. There’s plenty of good stuff here, so let’s get started right now.…
Read MoreMegyn Kelly and weasel words
The kindest thing I could ever say about Megyn Kelly is that she has this unerring ability to use “weasel words” to back up her spurious and specious and two-sided claims whenever necessary. And yesterday, her discussion about – and, apparently, defense of – sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was full of such weasel-worded bilge. This…
Read MoreA third Patroons coaching loss this offseason.
Earlier this year, the Albany Patroons family lost one of their own – longtime Patroons assistant coach (and later head coach) Charley Rosen passed after a long battle with cancer. And earlier this week, the Patroons mounred the loss of former player and head coach Micheal Ray Richardson. The old adage is that death comes…
