I checked my car’s dashboard. There’s a chance I can make it in time, hopefully I calculated the distance. If I’m off by even a mile … this won’t work. Here I am on Broadway, driving from Albany to Menands. I’m about two miles away from Ciro’s Gentleman’s Club, an adult business on the Albany-Menands…

Read MoreMehdi Hasan tore Vivek Ramaswamy apart like a cheap suit.
I don’t know that much about Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy – heck, I had to double-check the spelling of his name before I even wrote today’s blog post. But I can tell you that Ramaswamy is a mighty wind coming from an empty cave. His promises on the campaign trail are absolutely bonkers. And…
Read MoreSo there’s a new Star Trek series … based on a 50-year-old Star Trek cartoon series?
After Star Trek completed three years of its five-year mission on NBC in the 1960’s, the show was cancelled. However, the program proved extremely successful in the syndication market, where the original 79 episodes drew legions of fans and cries for new stories of the Starship Enterprise and its crew. And in 1973, Star Trek…
Read MoreThe Alpine Bobsled at The Great Escape was fun while it lasted.
At the time it first arrived at the Great Escape amusement park, the Alpine Bobsled was a very cool concept (no pun intended). It replicated the twists and turns of riding in a bobsled – which, with Lake Placid just a couple of hours away, was a nice tie-in with the Adirondacks and the Winter…

My final run at Competition Season 2023 take place at the Durham Fair in Connecticut. So far this year, 2023 hasn’t gone as strongly as I would have liked, and maybe I can end the season with a good showing at Durham. Because the Durham Fair takes place so late in the year, I usually…
