I get one shot at this. One shot. And I have to get this correct. No do-overs. So here’s the plan. The 2021 lunar eclipse will appear on the evening of November 18, 2021, and into the morning of November 19, 2021. The prenumbral eclipse starts at 1:02 a.m., with the partial eclipse beginning at…
Read MoreBreak out the ambient rock tracks and the heart-pulling Christmas commercials.
I guess there’s such a thing as “new holiday tradition,” as our Christmases are now filled with 117 new Hallmark movies (60 of them starring Candace Cameron Bure and 57 of them starring Lacey Chabert), the incessant every-hour-on-the-hour of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” and the manipulation of children by their…
Read MoreCaption Time: Three masks, two IInspirations, one Chuck
Yesterday, I attended a wrestling fan convention at the Washington Avenue Armory. Don’t come at me. I like pro wrestling. Mostly AEW stuff (I’m still torn as to whether the MJF / Darby Allin match or the CM Punk / Eddie Kingston match at Saturday night’s Full Gear was the match of the night). There…
Read More“In a world of words, strive to be paper.”
It’s Thursday morning, and for some reason, I woke up at 2:00 a.m. and couldn’t get back to sleep. I think it’s another round of stress-induced insomnia. For me, insomnia happens when I’m over-anticipating something, or a personal event has me all twisted up in angst. Then, in the middle of the night, I’m awake,…

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers. As you know, when Saturday rolls around, I step aside from the blog, and showcase the great posts that arrived this week from my blogroll. You know, that list that runs down the right side of my page? Yeah, that blogroll. So let’s get at it, shall we? BLOGS…

Read MoreI’m locking in March 31, 2022.
Couple of things to note here. I am a long-time fan of the Albany Patroons basketball team. I am also a league statistician for the National Basketball League of Canada, and have been for the past decade. Which makes March 31, 2022 a very special day for me. This year, the NBL Canada will play…
Read MoreNajee Harris knows what a bed is, ESPN.
Last Monday night, I watched the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The win continued the Steelers’ four-game win streak, it pushed them closer to the top of the AFC North division, and hopefully shut up all the naysayers about the Steelers’ 2021-22 season. I mean, the quarterback should have retired…
Read MoreThe results of BUILT 2021
First things first. I had a tradition of wearing all my BUILT artist pins every year. That ended after last year, when my BUILT 2013 pin disappeared on the way home from BUILT 2020. So if anybody out there has an extra BUILT 2013 stickpin and can spare it, please contact me. That being said,…
Read MoreThe Explanation of Head Canon
Head Canon occurs when you see something in popular culture, and for lack of a plausible explanation (coincidence, accident, etc.), you invent a logic that purports to clarify everything. In other words, for you, this makes sense. It might be the equivalent of three left turns to make a right, but it still makes sense.…
