In my first week of blogging here at the Times Union (it seems like years ago but really it’s only been three weeks), I wrote a post that got a lot of attention calling attention to the level of schadenfreude behind the website People of Wal-Mart (HERE). I asked […]
A Reader Comments (ARC?) in response to Things You Hate That Everybody Else Loves:
“I am not to say who reads books but judging from YOUR followers, only one so far gave feedback about an author. Can you start a thread about awful […]
In preparation for a summer of rock concerts and this weekend’s visit from the cast member of the “Jersey Shore” with the least amount of charisma (I’m not paying a cover unless The Situation or […]
I have found in my many travels around the Capital Region that I can get away with saying and doing many reprehensible things and still retain friendships, or at the very least friendly acquaintances. Not much seems to bother people my age. Sure, you have some that take offense to some foul language and off-color […]

My single friends often say all the good ones are taken or married. But I maintain that a lot of the bad ones are too; Hell, some of the worst people I know are married. Despite what other people my age might believe, I don’t think I’m at a point yet (I’m 28) where it’s […]
