All right, March 29th, going to motor on down to White Plains for my first COVID-19 vaccine shot. And yeah, I’m kinda stoked. I need a short-sleeve shirt, so I’m deciding which Albany Patroons T-shirt I’m wearing for that day. Gotta represent the 518, don’tcha know. Then I received a call from my primary care…
Read MoreSo now I have a podcast.
So … one day I was up early in the morning, scribbling out my blog for the day – because that’s how I roll, write the blog early in the morning – and there was a new message on my WordPress blog platform. Did I want to turn my blog post into a podcast? Wait,…

Perception and the Ocular 6
This morning, I woke up – watched last night’s episode of Snowpiercer on demand – and looked out my living room window. Daylight percolated through my window shades. Glasses are a little cloudy. I should clean them. And as I washed the lenses with a cleaning chemical, I could see what appeared to be an…

Yeah, yeah, I get it. Chuck lives alone, he cooks for himself, he could just order McDonald’s all week and that’s all he deserves. I’ve dealt with that in my life. And yeah, I do enjoy a tasty Quarter Pounder now and again. But in this case, I wanted to try my luck at creating…
Read MoreBiden didn’t cancel Dr. Seuss, any more than your school district canceled J.D. Salinger.
So for the past few days, I’ve watched people clutch their pearls and display overt outrage that the estate of Dr. Seuss has removed six books from its catalog, based on the books containing unsuitable and racist imagery. And when people start freaking out over Dr. Seuss – trust me, they’ve not canceled Green Eggs…

So every Saturday, I step aside and showcase the blogs and writings and photos of these great people on my personal blogroll. I’ve done this at least once a week on my blog, and have done so for many years. Today, I decided to add something new. Instead of only posting a link to these…

Read MoreSo a Stooge, an IIconic, a Badass and a General walk into a room…
If you haven’t figured it out from reading this blog, I have absolutely adored my return to WHCL-FM after a 35-year absence. So much so, in fact, that I’ve had fun creating my own intertitle sound stingers. You know, where the station identifies itself with a cute musical stinger? Well, I went a different route.…
Read MoreMarch 29 – a reason to visit White Plains.
I was officially eligible for an appointment on February 15, so I checked the website like I was scouring for Taylor Swift front-row tickets at SPAC. There were several options at the time, but I wasn’t having much success. The Albany site was booked up to the moon, no appointments were available. Ditto in Utica.…
Read MoreThe MyHeritage site and its “Deep Nostalgia” photorealism
I’m still not sure how I feel about this. It’s a nice feature, but … um … Genealogy site MyHeritage.com – you know, the site where they claim if you look far enough into your past, you might find that one of your ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence or something (heck, the only thing…
