It’s one of my favorite charitable organizations, and it’s a cause that’s dear to my heart – Historic Albany Foundation’s “BUILT” charitable fundraiser. I believe in the program’s goals – to save and restore as many of Albany’s century-old structures before they get clobbered by the wrecking ball. And with that in mind, I decided…

Arrivederci, Chance
Let’s just cut to the chase. I’m not going to make this any easier or faster. Just rip the Band-Aid off the wound so quickly that it’ll make someone scream Kelly Clarkson’s name. The e-mail o’ doom arrived yesterday. As long as I don’t open that e-mail, there’s still a microscopic possibility that I’ve made…

I met Al Robinson back in 1993. He loved to read. He loved watching old war movies – I think Wake Island was his favorite – and he loved his family and he loved his association with Temple Israel. Those who attended the Saturday morning shul could always count on Al Robinson handing out candies…

Where was I last year at this time? My life at that moment was more sour than a lemon grove. My car was showing signs of electrical wire damage, my cell phone couldn’t carry a charge if I soldered a stack of Ray-o-Vacs to it, and my relationships – the less said about it, the…

Apparently the spambots who populate my blog haven’t gotten the hint that they’re about as welcome as a cheese grater exfoliant. Every so often, I check my spamfilter.

Read MoreThe Photo Center of Troy’s Members Show
I don’t consider the Photo Center of Troy’s Members Show part of my “competition season.” Rather than being “competition,” this show is more of a celebration. The Photo Center of Troy hosts a Members Show so that we can present our best works, our most stirring and inventive and inviting works, images that we are…

I have a love-hate relationship with the social media site reddit. Okay, now that that disclaimer is out of the way… I saw this notice on the subreddit /r/albany and thought it might be worthwhile to share this with my blog readers, especially any of you who are interested in acting or who want to…
Read MoreTen minutes after the wolf arrived
If you asked me to find this wooded area again, I couldn’t do it. I didn’t write down any coordinates, and my Boy Scout tracking skills are 40 years old and were never polished past Tenderfoot status. So as far as I was concerned, I was walking around in circles, having wandered away from my…
