Ever since I saw Harriet Dyer as one of the cast members in the Australian import drama Love Child, I thought she had a chance to make it big in Hollywood. And she had a few American television shows that almost got her there - a supernatural procedural called The InBetween that suffered from miserable writing; two years on the sitcom…...

I remember the COVID-19 pandemic. I remember our whole world shutting down. And in all that time, we were hoping there was an answer for this insidious virus that could either kill you quickly - or leave you battling lingering after-effects. I remember it well. Which is why, when the first vaccines rolled out, I joined a waitlist to get my vaccination....

I went to the Ukrainian folk festival last Saturday. It definitely was a fun time, and I learned plenty about Ukrainian culture and the struggles they currently face. Even ate some pierogis, which were quite tasty. At one point in my journey, I happened across a vendor who had several dozen handmade cups and pots and mugs for sale. He also sat at a potter's wheel and was throwing some clay....

Charley Rosen passed away yesterday. The former Albany Patroons head coach and assistant coach, as well as the author and co-author of sixteen different basketball books, was 84. Rosen joined the team in 1983 as an assistant coach to then-newly-hired Phil Jackson in the Patroons' first season. He stayed with the team through the 1985-86 season, and then embarked on a head coaching career of his own....

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers. I hope you're having a good day, and that you're able to enjoy a decent weekend. There's a few things going on locally if you're interested - the Polish Community Center in Albany is hosting a Ukrainian cultural festival on Saturday, and the Saratoga Harness track has a charity "Young Guns v. Established Legends" series of match races on Sunday....

While working on this recent latch hook rug project, I realized that I'm doing what my Grandma Betty used to do when I was a child. Let me explain. I lived with my paternal grandmother (my Grandma Betty) at her house outside Boston in summers, so that I could get away from my toxic home life in Albany. During those summers, if I was a good kid and did all my chores and behaved, I would be treated with a visit to the New England Aquarium or the Larz Anderson classic car museum or (if I was really good) a trip to the Boston Museum of Science....

This will be the first, last, and only time I blog about Charlie Kirk. I blocked him years ago on social media when his abhorrent and vulgar opinions chugged through the algorithms and populated my feed. I didn't need that kind of bilge in my life. I didn't need his misogynistic thoughts on women, or his repulsive thoughts on minorities. …...

Yes, I am eagerly anticipating the new TRON: Ares movie, the third chapter in the TRON movie franchise. Trust me. I saw the original TRON way back when it first hit cinemas (in my case, it was at the Sangertown Square shopping center in New Hartford, just a few miles away from college). Loved every minute of it. Then I eventually saw the…...

I first crossed paths with Chip Ordway in January 2020. A mutual friend recommended that I listen to his newly-formed radio show on the newly-resurrected WPTR radio station. Okay, I'll give it a listen. And for two hours on Saturday night, I was transformed back to WPTR's 1960's heyday with a mixture of classic oldies and Capital District-centric rarities. Holy cow, this was good stuff....

I recently watched the Billy Joel five-hour HBO documentary "And So It Goes," and found it tremendously fascinating. Yeah, it kinda bordered on hagiography at some points, but the early moments of Billy Joel's career - his involvement with the Long Island band The Hassles, his attempts at hard rock with Attila - were intriguing. But it's when we get to Joel's first solo album, …...

Yesterday, I drove to Syracuse to pick up my artworks and photos from the New York Stater Fair. The weather wasn't fantastic - it felt like I drove through one rainstorm and came back through another. On my way home, somewhere around Exit 33, one of my car's TPMS sensors reported low air. Oh, that's not good. Last thing I need is a flat tire on the Thruway, and the Volt does not carry a spare tire....

Hi everyone, I'm writing this blog a wee bit early today because by the time you read this, I'll be on the road to Syracuse to pick up my entries from the end of the New York State Fair. Normally I would just request them be shipped back to me via mail; but I've got a crate and a drive-in speaker, neither of which would fit in a Priority Mail shipping container....
