After six weeks of being cooped up like a quarantined patient, I finally had a chance to leave my home in the Town and Village for more than just a doctor’s appointment. And trust me, there’s no better cure than an Albany Patroons game. I was able to hobble into the Armory – doctor said…

Good morning, good morning to you. I’ve been updating my personal blogroll for the past two or three weeks – adding new bloggers, updating old blog links, that kind of thing.

Read MoreBefore CSI and Quincy, there was Wojeck
I’m going to introduce you to a very gritty 1960’s procedural drama series. It tells the story of a medical examiner who works with the police in solving murders. And if you’re a fan of CSI or Quincy, or even more regional shows like Da Vinci’s Inquest or the like, you’ll find many of the…
Read MoreRush Limbaugh helped me decide to vote for Pete Buttigieg
Look, it hasn’t been easy to find a political candidate for the 2020 Presidential election. It hasn’t.

Remember mood rings? Those skin-jewels that changed color, purportedly based on your mood, but in actuality based on your skin temperature? Yeah, back in the 1970’s they were a fashion trend, along with feathered hair, cowl-neck sweaters and leisure suits. I get it. Well … apparently someone got their mitts on a couple bottles of…
