I’m seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and there is a long list of pro-vegetarian reasons why. There is also a long list of reasons why I probably couldn’t/shouldn’t.
PRO: A vegetarian diet is healthier than a carnivorous diet. I know this intuitively to be true for me (I’m not [...]

Seriously. Because that is what I want to do when I grow up. I’m pretty certain I would be the best damn food critic in this area. (Sorry, Steve Barnes. You’re great.)
Do you have to send in a sample of your writing? Do I just start posting more reviews, and hope someone will notice?

Sorry for the long absence…my life has yet again gotten away from me. I’ve been so busy leading up to my June 6 event in Schenectady County (History & Heritage Day), that I’ve almost completely ignored the twittersphere for about a month.
So much to talk about!
Eh, not really.
But, I do have a few nuggets from [...]

Geek Update: Screw you, HP MediaSmart. I’m in love with Windows Media Center now. I can finally record over-the-air TV shows on my computer. Now, if I can only figure out how to link it up with my DirecTV…
Wow, it’s been quite a while since I posted something of substance (I am not counting the Bacon [...]

Now that 2008 is solidly behind us, I wanted to take a few minutes to share my “Best of 2008″. A lot of things happened to me in 2008, some bad, some good. Rather than dwell on the negative (which I have a tendency to do), I want to focus on the positive things that [...]

Irony Wine. I love it.
I haven’t yet seen this wine on the shelves here in the CP (and no one up here carries it just yet, according to the website), but I am going to run right down to the liquor store and ask them to order me some. With a name like that, [...]

But the photos are so delightful!
I am not a photographer, but every once in a while something is so beautiful that I’m inspired to grab the ol’ digital camera and snap a few shots.
Last night and this morning, the Capital Region was socked with a pretty devastating snow/ice storm. Trees were felled, cars were crashed, [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I am not exactly living the life I imagined I would be by this point in my life. At one time in my late-teens/early twenties, I was fully convinced that my life would be “set” by age 28: married, 2 kids, a home in the suburbs, driving [...]

Quick Update: I went back into my blog archives and found last year’s Christmas meme. It’s interesting because things really don’t change all that much from year to year…
Well, Sarah had me pegged, alright. Noting that my blog has been a little “quiet” lately, she thought that I would be a likely candidate for copying [...]

Bob and I went to dinner at the Halfmoon Diner tonight, where we usually go for a quick bite. It’s good food, good service, and very predictable. Great onion rings. But, this is not a review of the Halfmoon Diner.
Rather, it is a review of an observation we made this evening, as we were leaving [...]
