It is true, a new area code is going in place within the Capital Region very soon. Our beautiful 518 is now becoming the 518/838. The one thing I hadn't even thought of though is how this will affect any phone call we now make locally.

The feelings you have going through the TSA check points on your travels are mutual to your fellow travelers. Take the shoes off, sweatshirt/jacket, take the lap top out, let them know about the medication you have (yes, I promise that's just my inhaler), take off all of your jewelry and hope that it all makes it to the other end of the conveyor belt.

The heroin epidemic seems to be getting worse and more creative by the day. Everything you know about the drug may change when you hear what was found in the Elmira area of New York.

In a world where we've had to remove "under God" from our morning Pledge of Allegiance in schools, this news comes as quite a shock to some in the Capital Region. The question is are we for or against it?

I had posted a couple of days ago that there would be some filming fun happening at the Albany International Airport and sure enough it's in progress right now! The film, entitled "Departure" stars a couple familiar faces including Maisie Williams from "Game of Thrones" fame.
