The mailbox at the Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing of Guilderland has "exploded" with letters arriving daily, much to the delight of the senior residents who live there. Recently, activity directors featured photos of 11 residents and behind them on a dry-erase board was information about each of them. It listed their name as well as their hobbies, interests and other character traits t

The City of Cohoes Fire and Police departments as well as the New York State police have confirmed they have found a body under the 112th Street Bridge in Cohoes on Monday morning.

No big deal, just a coyote hanging out following us around the golf course yesterday. This happened while some buddies of mine as we were playing at a golf course located about an hour south of Albany on Sunday. At around the 14th hole on the Poughkeepsie course, we spotted a deer hanging out behind a tree looking around rather cautiously, which is pretty typical. But then another friend of mine n

Alex in Wynantskill writes: My best friend used to have the coolest dog. His name was Eddie and he was 8 years old and died two night ago.  So my buddy comes over for a few drinks and sits and talks to me and my wife. He's a wreck and I can't blame him. Here is where it gets weird. He lives in an apartment and I own my house. He begged me to bury his dog in my yard last night. Freaked my wife out

On Thursday, HBO hit us with the trailer for their docuseries on the NXIVM madness called The Vow.  Based on the trailer (and the fact that it's HBO), it looks to me like it's gonna be awesome.

It's no secret that Papa Codes loves him some Fox News.  Every once in a while he'll see something on his favorite news channel and want to discuss it with me which is totally fine.  I have no issues with either of my parents from a political standpoint.  They are, however, diametrically (and passionately) opposed to one another when it comes to the subject.  So Pops calls me up on Sunday to discu

It's evident that Capital Region residents have a lot to say about school reopening in the Fall and parents - for good reason - have probably said the most.  While some parents have been reasonable others have been downright negative.  Regardless of your stance on the reopening of school in the Fall, you can't deny that it's a lightning rod of a topic.  People want the best for their kids, even if

This story happened to take place in California, but it could happen anywhere especially here in the Northeast with our sweltering Summer heat peaking in late July and early August. This poor pup is lucky to be alive after his little helpless 'yelp' got the attention of a passerby who rescued it from a vehicle that reached over 130 degrees on the inside.  Not only doggies; horses, livestock and ob

I know guys- it's ridiculous but I can't.  It's just as much her fault as it is mine because we remain friends.  So she keeps me hanging around and that certainly doesn't help. And she knows how I feel, because I've told her.   My friends and family think I'm a moron because I can't let it go- but they also blame h

A Vermont man went skydiving over the weekend hoping to experience the thrill, rush and shot of adrenaline that jumping out an airplane can provide.  It turns out, for Chris Marckres from Hyde Park, VT, the real anxiety came in the next few days following the skydive.  Marckres, a double amputee, lost one of his prosthetic legs during the jump and took to social media to try and locate it. After 1

While many of us in Capital Region have decided against flying during the pandemic, states such as Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine offer beach respites that we crave at distances that are manageable to drive.  In what is believed to be the first ever shark fatality in the state of Maine, officials are saying that a woman was attacked and killed on Monday afternoon. Officials are urging anyon

Reopening plans were revealed last week by the Shenendehowa Superintendent and some parents are not happy about it. As a result, an aggressive online petition has been created to force change. The petition urges parents in the school community to show their displeasure of the proposed plan for reopening in the Fall which would inhibit K-6 students from taking online classes.  Many parents are comp
