I went back through my archives – all the highs and lows, the brickbats and the bouquets, for the year 2011. I’ve made some mistakes in 2011; but I’ve overcome my mistakes. I’ve started relationships and I’ve ended relationships – in fact, in some cases I’ve started and ended relationships in the same year. Of…

Poke Off already
“When we created the poke, we thought it would be cool to have a feature without any specific purpose. People interpret the poke in many different ways, and we encourage you to come up with your own meanings.” – Mark Zuckerberg As far as I’m concerned, the “POKE” button is the appendix of Facebook. It…
Read MoreI’ve done it with many things… but never with my grandfather’s cane.
There are so many different ways some people do it. Some do it every day. Some do it maybe once a week. Some people do it two or three times a day, if they’re really committed and have plenty of stamina. Some people do it in their bed. Some people do it at work. I’ve…
Read MoreCompetition #8 – the New York Sheep and Wool Photo Contest
My TU blog buddy Teri Conroy suggested I enter this competition, and you know what I always say… bloggers support bloggers. I was allowed to enter a maximum of five images in the upcoming New York Sheep and Wool Festival Photography Contest, and I submitted all five in the “objects” category. Even though it is…
Read MoreBlogger meets blogger: Chuck Miller meets the Professor’s Wife!
The best part about being in the TU Blog Community is that, sooner or later, you end up meeting your fellow local bloggers in various locations and get-togethers. I’ve developed some great friendships with members of the TU blog community, and sometimes when a blogger needs some support – fundraiser, charity donation, Chuck needs some…
Read MoreAdieu, Kevin Marshall
This is tough for me. I should be used to this. Other people have left the TU blog community and ventured out on their own. Rob Madeo. J Eric Smith. Daniel Nester. Yet through all this, even when quality writers like those left the TU blog farm and ventured to their own websites, there was…
Read MoreIt’s been twelve weeks, and there’s been a craving for Strawberry Pop Tarts. Yep… you know what that means…
No, I’m not pregnant. Just in case you were wondering. Don’t laugh – I posted this as my status on Facebook yesterday and my buddy Chris Munson half-jokingly asked if I was expecting. See, here’s what’s going on. Yesterday, one of my FB friends updated her status that for her, it was twelve weeks and…
Read MoreI survived Hurricane Irene… so far… how are you doing?
It has been touch and go all weekend. Was Hurricane Irene going to ruin my trip to the New York State Fair last Saturday? It didn’t. But Sunday was another story. My heart and prayers go out to all my friends who went through the worst that Tropical Storm Irene dished out. Some of my…
Read MoreLodge’s, Llamas, Agfa-Ansco and other fun things at the New York State Fair
This just in. 5:00 a.m. is an ungodly hour to hit the road for the New York State Fair. However, it’s the best time to go – especially on a day when EVERYBODY’s going to Saratoga for Travers Day. Good. You guys all go fight for parking and lose your money there. I’ll go in…
Read MoreBlog post number ONE THOUSAND!!
Two years ago on this very day – August 25, 2009 – I accepted Michael Huber’s offer to move from my teeny weeny blogspot.com homemade blog and join the Times Union blog portal. That was nine hundred and ninety-nine blog posts ago. And I’m still here. Haven’t missed a day. Not a one. That included…
