We spent the Fourth of July out at my folks’ in Olean, NY. I got some delicious homemade German Chocolate Cake for my birthday, and we enjoyed fireworks from about a mile away. I experimented with the Canon G9 by snapping some fireworks at full zoom while the camera was “attached” to a [...]

According to a story today, New York’s darling-est whore, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, is suing Joe Francis, the maker of “Girls Gone Wild” (GGW). If you don’t remember, I blogged about Ashley Dupré in March when she took down Eliot Spitzer… in the political sense.

Those local to me here in New York’s Capital District already know this (it’s been all over our news)… but tonight’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition 2-hour season finale episode on ABC took place just a few miles from my house here in upstate New York. The “actual” event happened a couple months ago, but [...]

So I go to the mall. Our mall is a big mall… and is in the center of New York’s Capital Region. It used to be quite a weekend attraction for teenagers with nothing to do with their life, until mall officials mercifully put a restriction on un-chaperoned youth under 18 after 4pm [...]
