Herschel Walker’s Georgia Senate campaign has more scandals attached to it than a Kerry Washington TV drama. And at the beginning of those scandals – especially the ones involving Walker’s parentage of other children with other women, one of his most strident supporters was his son Christian Walker. And eventually, as Herschel Walker moved forward…

This year, as I visited the New York State Fair in Syracuse and the Big E in Springfield, I took along my pink-leathered Nikon F2S camera (“Nikon Athena”) and took some sample shots. I wanted to test out Athena’s built-in light meter, and hoped that the film I loaded in the camera would work in…
Read MoreFinally, we get Kenny Pickett. FINALLY.
Honestly, Mitch Trubisky is about as useful as a DVD rewinder. The Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback was ineffective, he couldn’t throw a long pass accurately, and his offense was totally stagnant. This was not Steelers football. And during yesterday’s game against the New York Jets … it was more of the same. The fans had…
Read MoreOne jab in the right arm, one jab in the left arm.
We are now living in the endemic stage of COVID-19, similar to the endemic stage of influenza. At this point in our lives, we’re most likely looking at inoculations and vaccinations every year, similar to the vaccinations we get each year to protect us from the flu. Last week, I made an appointment for a…

It promises to be a beautiful fall foliage season, topped off with bitter cold at the end, with a bunch of costumed candy-begging ankle-biters roaming the neighborhood. Fun stuff.

Read MoreIs the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train ACTUALLY HAPPENING in 2022?
I’ve waited patiently. I’ve waited through a broken ankle, COVID-19 and two virtual concerts to replace the real things. But if all signs lead toward positive vibes, it is very possible that the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will return through the Northeast – literally, not virtually or figuratively – for the 2022 holiday season. And…

Last year, I totally fangeeked over the Spider-Man: No Way Out film. The movie found a way to weave together the last three Spider-Man actors into one cohesive and totally action-packed film. This was no easy task. The original Spider-Man trilogy (with Tobey Maguire) was part of one thematic universe, while the Amazing Spider-Man films…

Charity Season 2022 is now in effect. For me, “Charity Season” means that my artworks are now entered in galas and art shows that, if my artworks sell, a portion of the proceeds goes to a specific charity. And one of my personal charities is Historic Albany Foundation. They do a tremendous job for building…
