A long time ago, I blogged about some dog agility competition videos – first I showed a dog raced through the obstacle course like there was a plate of Alpo at the end of the run, and then I showed a dog who was just taking his sweet time through the course like it was…

Gritty’s parentage is solved.
Sports mascots are a hit-and-miss option for sports fans. Some fans love their team mascots, others, not so much. I mean, you can’t go wrong with the San Diego Chicken, but when the New York Yankees had a mascot for a couple of seasons … the less said about that, the better. I mention this…

The Malta Drive-In Speaker Project
So I’ve had some fun restoring these old drive-in speakers and making them functional again. It’s a nice little distraction, and I do like the finished products. So when a friend of mine pointed out that someone local was selling drive-in speakers, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Until I saw what theater the speakers…
Read MoreI need some happy dancing, don’t you?
I’ve got a lot of stuff going on of late. And you know what? I need something happy and joyful to get through these moments. And apparently, I found something. There’s a group of YouTube videos that feature athletic dancers grooving and jumping to classic rock and roll. No, seriously. For example, here’s some energetic…
Read MoreA hot mic can cool your career.
If you’re not familiar with the term “hot mic,” it occurs when someone is broadcasting, and turns off their microphone and utters an off-color comment – only to find out that the microphone is STILL ON AND STILL OPERATIONAL.

Read MoreThis is what I need. COVID vaccine freebies.
Before I start today’s blog, I need to recall an anecdote that sports commentator Jim Rome once said about Krispy Kreme donuts. He said that the first one in the box tastes like heaven, but by the time you’re eating the third one, it’s like blah. That being said, Krispy Kreme is offering a waycool…

Again, I have a serious love-hate relationship with the social media site reddit. There are days when it is a funny, informative place, and there are days when I want to take a bath in ammonia after visiting the site. That being said, this morning someone posted this video to the r/albany site. And it…
Read MoreI see your sea shanty and I raise you a Danceteria.
Apparently the big kick on social media right now is a sea shanty called “Wellerman,” a song about a New Zealand whaling vessel. Of late, the song has received newfound appreciation as performers like Nathan Evans have turned this song into a TikTok sensation. Now, of course, with all the “Bernie Sanders and his Mittens”…
Read MorePray tell, what be this La Croix nectar you served to me?
My friend Laurie is a driver for various shopping centers; you place an order, she gets it and brings it to you. Well, recently, she posted that there was an available run of a brand of sparkling water that I had never previously known existed. Something called La Croix sparkling water. She had purchased a…
Read MoreNigella Lawson can call it whatever she wants.
A couple of days ago, TV chef Nigella Lawson was demonstrating one of her new recipes for one of her new TV shows, when she discussed the procedure she used to warm her milk. Yep, she called it the MEE-cro-wah-vay. And Twitter went nuts. Oh, sweet Lord, does Nigella Lawson not know what a microwave…
