Richie Defends Daniel Murphy of the Mets In Song – [VIDEO]
This is a bonus blog. I really honestly DID feel sorry for good old Dan. NJ.com is calling his error one of the worst in World Series history. How would you like THAT on your record forever? Are we forgetting everything he's DONE for the game? This calls for a song! (big surprise, huh?)
Halloween Memories 6 Years Ago Today – My Costume Double..
I was just relaying the story to a friend of mine. Several years ago I went to a costume party trying to resemble Elton John. You wouldn't believe what happened.
Hey- Lighten Up On Daniel Murphy, Will Ya?
This is a definite first – not necessarily for Met Daniel Murphy but for me. This might be the very very first time I've ever done an editorial on sports. Sports is not my long suit by any stretch of the imagination, but this actually bugged me after I watched the entire World Series Game 4, and saw the Murphy slip-up. I feel really bad for the guy.
Stranger Meets His Exact Double On A Ryan Air Flight [VIDEO]
This is fantastic. This guy boards a RyanAir flight in England on his way to Galway, Ireland, and look who he bumps into?
Van Schaick Elementary’s Costume Song -Reading, Writing and Rhyming [VIDEO]
This is so cool. I had the chance to visit Mrs. Bennett's kindergarten class at Van Schaick Elementary in Cohoes. Coincidentally, Mrs. Bennett is the teacher's name. MY kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Bennett too (but that was 57 years ago) LOL Be that as it may, here is the kids' song!

And Now, The President Of The Saratoga County Kids Care Club [VIDEO]
I know, I know. I already did a blog about this kid and this club. I don't care. I'm giving this group 2 promotional mentions because they have done so much for the community and continue to do so. Plus it's run completely by kids. It's the Saratoga County Kids Care Club!
Richie’s Politically Correct Halloween Song [VIDEO]
I was definitely affected by a story we covered the other day about a task force set out to make Halloween costumes less offensive. I'm definitely on board with this. We are not sensitive enough these days.

We had special guests on the Sean, Richie and Bethany Show this morning, and they were a great addition (and very into our High School Hunger Games competition)!
Bacon – Will It Kill You Or Not?
Well, there seems to be a growing list of possible harmful things we ingest, and an equal list of controversies surrounding them. Here's the newest addition.
Just WHY Did Schenectady Schools Cancel Bullying Hotline?
Ok, so there was this headline I heard on the air this morning as I walked into the studio. "Schenectady school bullying hotline shut down, parents upset". Then I saw it online. So is Schenectady this nasty, callous school system that doesn't care about kids getting picked on? I think not. I have proof.
Richie Wants To Come To Your Class On HALLOWEEK
It's Halloween week around these parts, and I want to celebrate it by coming to your Capital Region classroom, but you have to act fast, and you have to be a teacher to sign up.
