12 SiriusXM channels to choose
I’ve had my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt for the past five months, and it’s been the best five months of my driving life. And one of the things that really captured my fascination with the Blackbird is that this bad boy has built-in SiriusXM satellite radio available on it. Aces. So in addition to six AM…

A few days ago, my girlfriend Nicole and I went out for a tasty meal together. She ordered the chicken Parmigiana, while I had a nice plateful of seafood Alfredo. She had the endless salad, while I enjoyed a very delicious soup. We feasted on the restaurant’s breadsticks, and all in all it was a…

The other day, I brought some Chinese takeout food over to my girlfriend Nicole’s place. It was the usual fare for a Chinese restaurant – entrees, egg rolls, and some fortune cookies. She told me she had previously enjoyed Chinese food over at P.F. Chang’s in Colonie Center, and that she was searching for a…

In terms of appreciation for my ’06 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, I’ve been doing something with it that I haven’t done that often with my previous two cars, the ’91 Pontiac 6000 or the ’05 Saturn Ion. I’ve taken it to the car wash more often than I have with with the “6” or with Cardachrome.…

Last Friday, I took my girlfriend Nicole to the opening of the Troy PhotoCenter’s “One Day: 12-12-12” gallery opening. The photos on display were all taken on December 12, 2012 – ergo, the 12/12/12 motif – and she totally enjoyed the show and the artwork on display. By the way, the gallery show will run…

Last night, Nicole and I went to Brown’s Brewing and had a fantastic meal together. We talked about many things during our dinner – music and family and what makes us both happy. “Do you like going to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center?” I asked her. “Yes.” “Amphitheater or lawn seats?” “I’ve been to both,”…
