“It’s a touchdown … HOWEVER …”

I think I can credit that patch of grey hair on my head to yesterday's Pittsburgh Steelers-Detroit Lions football game. Let me explain. As a longtime Black and Gold fan, I know that one more win gives the Steelers their 21st consecutive season without a losing record. It also increases their playoff hopes, especially with the surging Baltimore Ravens in the rearview mirror....

Not one single tear for Elise Stefanik

Over the weekend, news broke that New York's Congressional representative Elise Stefanik is dropping her run for Governor of New York. She's also not returning to Congress when her term ends, claiming the desire to spend more time with her family. And with that ... hopefully ... New York's elected cancer may finally go away. I have no beneficial use for Elise Stefanik....

Gil Gerard passed away, and I didn’t even realize it…

If the name Gil Gerard sounds familiar to you, it might be because of his most memorable television series. It was a show that lasted for only one and a half seasons, and that second season was just straight-up dreadful. But when it debuted back in the day ... it was an extremely popular science fiction show. Say hello to…...

Albany Patroons to sit out 2026 season … I still can’t believe I typed that headline.

The Albany Patroons have a very long history. The team began in 1982 as an expansion franchise in the Continental Basketball Association. During their time in the CBA, the Patroons won two championships (1983-84 and 1987-88), and provided a pathway for several players and coaches to matriculate to the NBA. Then, in 1992, the Patroons underwent a corporate rebranding as the Capital Region Pontiacs (yuck), and lasted for one season with that name before relocating to Hartford, Connecticut for the 1993-94 season....

Christmas in Iverhill: Santa Claus is Cool

Saturday, December 15, 1973. "I can't find them, Ann, I can't find them!" "They have to be where you last left them last," Ann called out. "Did you check your dresser drawers?" "No, they're not there," replied Gordon, frantically searching throughout the bedroom. "I can't find them. This is terrible, and I need to get downtown before I'm completely late!"...

Here Comes Santa Claus, right down George Street …

The Town and Village of Green Island still enjoys several community and municipal benefits - band concerts in the summer, parades on Memorial Day, a monthly newsletter with a hand-typed letter from the mayor. One of those town and village traditions is the annual visit for Santa Claus. Santa and his wife travel through the neighborhood on their sleigh - which is pulled on a trailer by a Green Island Power Authority pickup truck - and kids stand outside and wave to the Clauses as they travel by....

Fourth Cone Restoration and the art of saving posters

I don't know how it came up on my YouTube algorithm, but I've enjoyed watching these videos. And you will as well. Fourth Cone Restoration is a Los Angeles-based company that specializes in restoring old posters, photographs and advertisements for collectors and historians. Each video shows the poster as it arrives, along with all the steps they use to restore the artwork, preserve it, and prepare it for display....

A little bachelor laundry and a good deed

I've pared my laundry routine down to a science. Put a bag of clothes in my car before I go to work, so that on the way home I can stop at the laundromat and launder my laundry. A separate tote bag for my detergents, my fabric softeners and my dryer sheets. And if I need hangers, a quick trip across the parking lot to the Dollar Tree has me covered....

I added a new blog to the blogroll today, the writings of Paris Buttfield-Addison, a writer and professor from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia who is heavily involved in game development and technology. I saw one of his blog posts in my Mastodon feed, and was impressed enough to share his texts to my blogroll for all of you to enjoy. Along with all the other blog posts from all the other bloggers that are on my blogroll....

Is this the Gumby & Pokey / Davey & Goliath crossover episode we never knew existed?

Children of the 1950's will remember the great animated series Gumby, in which a green anthropomorphic clay figurine and his trusty clay horse Pokey go on surreal adventures in the stop-motion world. The show was immensely popular in its time, and would later get a revival in the 1990's. As for me, I was more partial to the other stop-motion animated program from the same studio, the religious TV series…...

Oh, so THAT’s where the new Albany Center Gallery is now located!!

It's a synergy, I tell you. It has to be. Yesterday, after I posted my blog about taking my artwork The Shooting Star to the new Albany Center Gallery location, one of my friends, Roger Green, messaged me to suggest I list ACG's new address, as they have moved from their former location to this new spot on 48 North Pearl Street in Albany....
