He created a machine that could print counterfeit money – specifically, “bleaching” $5 bills and printing over them to make them appear to be $100 bills. Apparently his way of “making money” has been successful, in…

Game of Thrones: Monopoly Edition
So I’m really getting into the Game of Thrones television series. I really never thought I could enjoy a fantasy drama series, but I gotta hand it to HBO – they really pulled it off and it looks fantastic. Now I know there’s plenty of tie-ins with Game of Thrones – you can go to…
Read MoreIt’s a wing sauce AND a TV show!
Last night I played trivia at my favorite brains-and-food location, Brown’s Brewing. I usually get to the restaurant early, place my food order ahead of time, and finish off my dinner as the first trivia questions are asked. I went through the specials menu for that night’s dining suggestions. Ah, there’s the craft beer flavor…

Sunday was a rough day for me. Mothers’ Day is a very draining holiday. My mother passed away six years ago, and there’s a lot of emotions going through me. Not good ones. I thought about going over to Washington Park and photographing the tulips, but parking was almost non-existent. Downtown Albany was tougher to…

It’s customary on Mother’s Day to remember those who gave birth to us, those who nursed us and weaned us and drove us to every Little League and AYSO event. The ones who were there in the audience when we graduated from school; the ones who were in the church saying, “That’s my boy up…

I’ve had my 2005 Saturn Ion “Cardachrome” for two years now. It’s a very dependable car, and I’ve grown to appreciate its simple beauty and decent 30mpg gas-sipping talents. So last Saturday, in addition to getting my car’s oil changed (Valvoline), I stopped next door to Mavis Discount Tire and had all four of Cardachrome’s…

I’ve mentioned in the past that Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody was the first 45 I ever purchased with my own money – the first record that didn’t have the words “Disney” or “Cricket” on the label. I bought the 45 at Blue Note Record Shop in Albany; and 35 years later, that 45 is still in…

Hokey smokes, they’re coming out on DVD. What’s coming out on DVD, you ask? If you read the headline of this blog, you would know EXACTLY who I’m talking about. Yeah, I can still see that blank gaze on your face. Maybe this clip will help. Okay. I knew that would work. It was just…
