The people of Bethel, Alaska were fooled by an evil and cruel hoax. And Taco Bell was used as the bait – even though the company had no idea what had happened. Bethel, Alaska has a population of about 6,000 people. Among the Alaskan bush towns, it’s pretty big. It’s also pretty desolate, and since…

Her Stolen Heart
I have a good “photographer / model” relationship with my friend Lauren. She’s willing to pose for any photos I need, and she gets TFP – “time for prints.” And as I started going over my pictures for competition season, I had an idea for a photograph that would make people do a double-take –…
Read More“Caucasians Only” – for a movie survey???
This is not a fiction piece. This is a true story and it happened to me last Saturday. While doing my usual Saturday errands, I stopped at Crossgates Mall for a little walk-around exercise. A couple of laps around the upper and lower flowers of the mall makes for some great low-impact health benefits. Oh…

Terry Wallis didn’t want to come back. Not now. Not for this. But the nightmares of what happened nearly forty years ago were still haunting him. Haunting him over and over, the whispers and the screams and the fists and the traumas. He thought it was all done. He thought he was gone. He thought…

Friday morning. Brilliant sunshine. Birds tweeting in the air. And I’m off for my morning commute downtown – and as I approach my parked 2005 Saturn Ion, I notice that my car’s left front tire is low on air. Yep. The same left front tire that got punctured last month. <looking for a wall to…
Read More“Rock of Ages” and other jukebox musicals
At some point in time this weekend, I’ll go see Rock of Ages, the new jukebox musical based on the hard rock and heavy metal hits of the 1980’s. Maybe not so much for the acting – jukebox musicals are rarely about the acting – but instead for the song interpretations and how well they…

Well, I guess December 2015 came a lot faster than expected. Backstory. Earlier this week, a friend of mine told me he had upgraded his phone and was no longer using his BlackBerry. “Do you want it?” he asked me. “It’s all paid for and everything, it just needs a factory wipe.” Now mind you,…

So let’s look at the situation here. You’ve done something wrong. Very, very, very wrong. And you need to tell someone, if for no other reason than you need to unburden yourself of this horrible, horrible weight on your shoulders. Then maybe this eBay auction is up your alley. EBay user “smelltheglove” has an interesting…
Read MoreGeorge W. Bush got spiked on Game of Thrones
I have really enjoyed watching the HBO series Game of Thrones since its 2011 debut. No, I never read the books on which the series is based, but the program itself has captured my attention and my interest each week. I even found a good laugh last week when fellow blogger Dave the Upstate Man…

The worst feeling in the world, if you own a beloved pet, is when that pet is on its final days. There’s a ton of emotions swirling around you and none of them are pleasant. Your dog has been a faithful companion in your family, your cat has always been part of your life. Last…
