Okay, how many of you are fans of the X Factor? Nice, I see some hands go up… And how many of you remember that the X Factor was the launching pad for Susan Boyle, the feel-good story of a girl whose stage presence belied her fantastic singing voice? Yeah. I see some nods of…

Albany Legends basketball: A 3-game road season!
Did you know the Albany Legends were still playing? Okay, let’s help out a little. The Legends were the team that replaced the Albany Patroons when the Continental Basketball Association finally died in 2009. The Legends played their games at the Armory, in the shadow of banners from the old Patroons’ heydays. And in 2010,…
Read MoreThe smile
I’ve had many people say to me that they’ve never seen a picture of me smiling. Even my Times Union blog avatar doesn’t show my smile. Well, that’s probably because my camera is in front of my face, but hey… To be totally honest, I didn’t have much to smile over for years. Even as…
Read MoreFour medals, let’s go for five
Regular readers of my blog know that I am extremely passionate about my photography, both in taking pictures and in submitting them in juried competitions.

Read MoreBlackBerry Q10 update… I so ♥ this phone…
As you know, I’m going through a bit of a cell phone crisis. My current BlackBerry phone is okay, it’s not a worldbeater, but it does make phone calls and I can text and approve blog comments and read Facebook and play solitaire. And that’s really all I need my phone to do. And as…

Read More“And what have you done with your life, Chuck?”
Oh look, my Hamilton College alumni magazine arrived in the mail yesterday. Every four months or so, I get a glossy magazine from my college, letting me know what’s happened on campus lately, what’s going on with my fellow classmates and graduates, and the like. I always check the main stories in the alumni magazine,…

I have no idea if you’ve ever heard of the Seekers. Or if you have, do you know more than two songs of theirs. If you don’t… that’s a shame. Because the vocal harmonies of the Seekers have an essence and a sound all their own. For example, check out their first big hit, “I’ll…
Read MoreA new peaceful photo…
I need some peace and tranquility in my life. We all do. In 2005, when I attended my 20th reunion of the Class of 1985 at Hamilton College, I took some moments of peace and silence and wandered through the college’s arboretum, the Root Glen. I was in a dark place in my life at…
Read MoreBoston is stronger than this. And so are we.
I have friends who are runners. Michele Poole has participated in twenty-one consecutive Freihofer’s Run for Women races, and I suspect she’ll be there for her twenty-second race. My trivia team buddy Jeremy McNamara has run half-marathons and triathlons, and he’s currently in training to participate in another triathlon later this year. I have Facebook…
