It’s one of those mornings when I want to get up, go outside, take a deep breath of clean air – and then run back into the house, saying, “Good Lord in the sky, it’s freakin’ freezing outside!!” Yeah.  41 degrees this morning.  In late May. Well, if I’m going to stay indoors until the…

As we completely skip over springtime and go straight into the summer, it’s time this week for another set of blog posts from the Times Union’s community blogging team.  Yep, these are the bloggers that consistently put out great posts for you to read, so let’s go through the vaults and see what blog posts…

Yes, everybody, it’s the Thursday morning blog recap of ten awesome community and independent blogs by ten independent and community bloggers.  In other words, this is the weekly blog recap that doesn’t include “hot mugshot guy” staff blogs.  Trust me on this.
