A great man once said that the three most important men in American history were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Moe Howard. And if you don’t know who Moe Howard was… then spread out, numbskull, or I’ll gouge yer eyes out. I enjoy watching Three Stooges clips. I think I’ve seen all 190 of the…
Read MoreMore fun with a Trio3D camera
Just because I don’t use a camera for a while, that isn’t necessarily the same as abandoning the camera. And, for the purposes of today’s blog, that includes my Trio3D triple-image film camera.

Read MoreCBS / Time Warner Cable – a pox on both your houses
Yawn. It’s Tuesday morning and I want to watch the CBS drama Under the Dome. Since the show is part of the OnDemand service from Time Warner Cable, I figured I’d just watch the show in the morning and not stay up past my bedtime. Okay. Got some breakfast, got my remote… Channel 1020 –…
Read MoreI still enjoy Calvin and Hobbes
A boy and his pet tiger. Normally, that would make for a great series of stories, probably something from the Rudyard Kipling archive if anything.

Read MoreMore than just a safe bet
Those of you who read my blog know that when it comes to betting on horse racing, I have a system. Bet on horse #5, at some point in time that horse will win. Yeah, that’s going to fit well in the Daily Racing Form, won’t it? Last Friday, I visited Saratoga Race Course as…

Read MoreTime to play the game…
You know how much fun we had as kids, watching Saturday morning cartoons for hours and hours before our parents finally woke up and chased us out of the house? “Go play outside and get some fresh air, you’re going to ruin your eyes by watching so much television!” Gee, thanks, mom… Actually, it wasn’t…

Hey everybody, guess what time it is. Yep. It’s time to showcase ten of the Times Union’s community bloggers and their great work. And since the Times Union’s print edition hasn’t fully and permanently restored that “Best of Our Blogs” piece to the newspaper’s print edition, then I’m more than willing to give up one…
