Whenever my wife gets angry at me for something, she brings up this little nugget – “The reason we bought this house was that I thought I married a handyman who could fix or repair anything!” Moi? So while my wife is visiting my daughter in Seattle for a week, I decided this would be…

Those who know that I play competitive trivia know that I like playing as a lone wolf, a solo player among teams of 3 and 5 and 17 players. While that has worked for me in most trivia games around the Albany area, it hasn’t worked as well at Brown’s Brewing, my Wednesday night hangout.…

So here’s the story. Last Saturday I drive up to Barre VT, home of the Vermont Frost Heaves of the Premier Basketball League. The plan was to get action shots of the Frost Heaves as they try to secure a wild card berth in the PBL, as well as get photographs of the new Montreal…

This is going to be the eighth weekend that I will drive to various cities in the Premier Basketball League, in an effort to take action photographs and keep a photographic record of the action in the PBL’s second season. This weekend the plan is to actually hit two cities on one day. The Rochester…

As soon as the link is made available, I’ll post it here -but here’s the deal. About two months ago, I got a tip about an open-air museum in Hillsborough, New Hampshire – Dick Kemp’s Truck Museum. Dick Kemp passed on a couple of years ago, but hundreds of Mack Trucks and Sterlings and Dodges…
