Open Letter

Do you return your shopping cart to the store or place it in the corral when you are finished with it? This dude didn't

Would you help out a stranger by putting some gas in his tank?

We travel a lot along the New York State Thruway. My fiancee's family lives in Buffalo and we take many trips out to Western New York throughout the year. When I heard that the governor announced that they would be revamping and rebuilding the rest areas along the Thruway, I didn't really know what to expect until this past weekend. But something was clear, a man must have scheduled these upgrades.

Dear Brody, You were a bit too young to remember what life was like during the coronavirus pandemic that swept through the world in 2020, some 13 plus years ago.  Hard to believe it's been that long. Thankfully, we survived these very uneasy and uncertain times and and you are a grown-up now.  Soon enough you'll be off to college and ready to enter a whole new phase in your life. But back in 2020,

As a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, I feel I have something in common with you, the fan of the Buffalo Bills.  Both our teams were very good in the early 90's, at times dominant.  The Bills went to a million Super Bowls in a row, and lost each one.  Each SB loss worse than the previous year (the final one at the hands of the Cowboys which was an absolute smashing in 93) becoming a part of NFL lure.

Joseph: On behalf of my 76 year old father Harry, aka Papa Codes, I personally wanted thank you for choosing Syracuse University as the place you'll  play college basketball. Pops in 76 years old today, but you'd think he was a kid the way he glowingly discussed the future of Syracuse hoops now that you committed to his beloved Orange...

Back in October I begged and pleaded in an open letter to the one and only Miranda Lambert. It might sound silly, but I am a big fan and I really wanted to see her again. Not just see her again, but see the new music live and in person. I mean, right after she was at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center last June (on my birthday, eee!) she released, "Vice." She had sort of teased new musi

Dear Mother Nature, Let me start by saying, man, you're beautiful. I love everything about you. Okay, I mean, almost everything about you. Don't get me wrong, you're great. Perfect, even. There's just times where I'm shaking

Dear Miranda, or should I say Ms. Lambert? I mean, that seems too "official," right? Whatever. Hi. My name is Marissa and we actually had the opportunity to meet quickly this past summer when you were in Saratoga Springs. In fact, it was a special day
