Read MoreSaturday morning rock and roll
I recently saw a Facebook post in which someone tried to redraw various real rock and roll bands as the equivalent of Saturday morning cartoon bands. Here’s one of the images. Okay, that’s kinda cute. But what you young kids might not realize is that back in the day, when you get up on a…
Read MoreHow I messed up regarding Christian Walker.
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…
Read MoreNikon Athena went to the Fairs…
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.

Last week, I made an appointment for a…

Well, let’s start off October the way we start of every Saturday on this blog portal. Time for a review…

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…
