This morning, I’m headed to the orthopedist to find out the status of my ankle injury recovery. Because I broke my right ankle – my driving ankle – I must get to the orthopedist via an Uber. I also need to get to my day job via Uber, and usually that ride is $15 each…

One of my good friends, blogger Lazygal – she’s over on the blogroll as the writer of the “Killin’ Time Being Lazy” blog – sent this to me. She sent that to me, thought it might be a decent jumping-off point for a blog post. So let’s play along. What if Boy George thought he…
Read MoreIt’s Adam Adamant Lives! – and it borrows from EVERYWHERE!!
Follow me on this. In 1902, a swashbuckling “gentleman’s gentleman” is captured by a malevolent villain, and is placed by his mortal enemy in suspended animation. He wakes up in 1966 London, where his skills as a swordsman and champion of justice are used to fight crime. Oh, and he swings a mean-ass cane-sword. Allow…
Read MoreBuh-bye, Chris Matthews.
I do like watching MSNBC when I come home from the day job. I think Ari Melber is very intelligent, and it’s fun to watch him try to slip in a rap lyric into the evening commentary. I think Chris Hayes is very engaging, I think Rachel Maddow is extremely thought-provoking, and if I’m not…
Read MoreThanks, Pete Buttigieg
About two weeks ago, I decided to hitch my vote for the 2020 Presidency to South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg. I will admit, he wasn’t my first choice, but my first choice – Kirsten Gillibrand – withdrew. I was looking for a new candidate to back, and it took Rush Limbaugh’s horrific gay-bashing and virulent…
Read MoreAlbany Patroons take monster victory Saturday night, and I spend some family time
Last night was a re-energizing of sorts for the Albany Patroons, as they tore apart the Lewisville (Tx.) Yellow Jackets 133-81. The Pats had a 30-point lead at the half, and a 40-point advantage in the third quarter – so much so, in fact, that head coach Derrick Rowland was able to rest his starters…

Hey there, it’s the 29th of February, that moment in time where your birthday can be kinda a disadvantage (no, you can’t go into this establishment, it’s for 21 and older, your birthday makes you only 7), and an advantage (yes, I really am younger than I look … It feels good to be ten…
Read MoreUpdates for my entries into the 3D image show
So after a few weeks of convalescence, I’ve gone over my images for the upcoming 3D competition. I can submit as many as four stereo prints for the Austrian show, and when I started the process in mid-January, I had four images to pick from. Yesterday, I decided to jettison two of the images and…

So … I’ve been listening to Chip Ordway’s Friday night record show on WPTR, the Capital District’s local community radio station. The show airs Friday nights, 6-8pm, and can be streamed at wptrradio.com or heard on your AM radio (1240 AM). Yes, AM radio. Just like back in the day. Over his two-hour broadcast, Chip…
Read MoreUpdates on the Best Cleaners project
In a previous blog post, I mentioned how I was not able to take my clothing to the laundromat – broken ankle precludes me from driving to the wash ‘n fold. So instead, I signed up for Best Cleaners’ laundry service. Here’s how it worked for me. The laundry company dropped off a big green…
