Tips and Tricks

One week from today I will be entering "Disney World"  for the first time in my long, long life.  The family has been going down to Florida for the Daytona 500, for a few years now. Of course, we  get to enjoy the Florida weather and theme parks as well...

I'm contemplating making this a running blog - handy household tips.  What makes this quite ironic is that I am the polar opposite of handy.  The older I get, however, the more I personally would love to change that image (just don't tell my wife that I'm actually becoming interested in housework!)

If the finished project isn't worth the effort I don't even want to start.

How many times do you get these "dog trick" videos sent to you from friends?   Many times, if you're like me,  maybe you watch 10 seconds of them, or callously hit "delete" and forget about the whole thing.  Well, 5 seconds of this one hooked me into watching the rest.  A "10" on the "cutesy meter" for sure

When we were broadcasting at the Crossgates Mall raising money to help the victims of the recent flooding here in the Capital District a listener came up to me and asked if she could talk to the "Coupon Lady". I explained that while she was not there at the time, I could relay a message as I sleep next to her at night...
