24 hours away from my final chance…

I've tried not to blog about this. But I can't resist. Tomorrow morning at about 6:25 a.m., New York will experience a lunar eclipse that will occur just before sunrise. In fact, we could be blessed with an extremely rare phenomenon. For at that time, give or take a minute or two ... we could have a selenelion. A selenelion (or "selenehelion") occurs when the Earth, moon and sun are perfectly aligned so that you can see the rising sun AND the eclipsed moon simultaneously - albeit 180 degrees apart from each other (moon at the front, sun at your back)....

This doesn’t seem like a fair pro wrestling trade … but I’m good with it.

There are two major professional wrestling companies in America - the WWE and All Elite Wrestling (there's also TNA, but they're a distant fourth in a three-horse race). When a professional wrestler's performance contract is not renewed, or if the company cuts the performer off the roster due to budget cuts, the wrestler has to wait 90 days before appearing in another company, unless there are exigent circumstances....

The Saturday Blogroll Recap, February 28 2028

Today's date almost sounds like a cheer chant from a football sideline. "Two! Two-Eight! Two-oh-Two-Eight! (clap-clap) You know, like "Be! Aggressive! Be-Be-Aggressive!!" No matter what today brings ... let's have some fun with the blogroll recap. I added a new blogger to the list; I found him on the Mastodon social network, you might enjoy his posts. Heck, you might enjoy everyone else's posts....

What am I going to do with an electric be**er?

Yesterday, I decided it was time to give my local casino another chance. Let me explain. Some time ago, I played a special promotion at Rivers Casino where if I earned a certain number of points, I could receive a cast iron cooking pan. Which at the time I really needed. But when I received enough points for the cooking pan, all the cooking pans were gone and I was left with an alternate option of (can you believe this) a gravy warmer....

One can never be “over-prepared”

I'm currently enjoying a nice run as trivia host at two local eateries each week - Tuesday nights at Beer Bones Bar & Grill in Loudonville, and Wednesday evenings at the Van Patten Golf Course in Clifton Park. Last week, however ... had its moments. I arrived at Beer Bones nice and early and set up my equipment. And noticed something strange....

More detail to A CO Railfan’s Dream

I never settle for "just good enough." If I make something, I'll try the next time to make it better. It's evolution and creation as a co-existence. Such is the case with A CO Railfan's Dream, one of my entries for Competition Season 2026. A CO Railfan's Dream....

Today's blog post chronicles my efforts to recreate the history of my college radio station, which eventually found its way into the college alumni magazine.

Last June, I attended my 40th college reunion. It was an adventure. Spent the weekend reminiscing with classmates, rediscovering old memories … And getting a bit of an itch. Follow along. Tha…

Two years early??

In March 2022, I purchased my current car, a 2017 Chevrolet Volt Premier ("Lightning's Girl"). I most likely overpaid for some services from the dealership, but the car has stayed loyal and true to me for the past four years. I entered into a six-year financing contract. But you know me. I can't just pay the minimum and be done with it....

I made it to the 1600’s and gave up.

I do enjoy finding new rabbit holes to dive into on the Mastodon social media network. Such is the case with this one. This website chronicles the history of language, and this post here actually chronicles the evolution of what we know as English. And even if you go back 100 years ... 200 years ... even further ... you'll discover that our English language has evolved and changed and adapted....

The Saturday Blogroll Recap, February 21 2026

Good morning, blog readers.

Allen’s Day 2026

Today is a sad anniversary. It's the moment when death touched me and nobody prepared me for it. On February 20, 1970, my baby brother Allen - just three years young - was critically injured in a single-car crash in Rensselaer County. My maternal grandfather hit a tree; Allen (who was not belted in) went flying through the windshield upon impact....

Zen and the art of trivia hosting

One of the most influential books of my college years was Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a book that works as both a repair manual and a tome on life. And in the concept of such motorcycle maintenance, I've now developed a routine for my two trivia hosting stints each week. Trust me, it took a while, but it's working....
