 142 minutes, 58 seconds... appproaching 3 full hockey games played last night/this morning at the Times Union Center.  It's a shame someone had to lose.  Ordinarily, I can't stand that cliche.. but this is one time it was true. ...

Good morning, today if you haven't heard is Earth Day. No doubt the news coverage will be all over saving the earth topics and stories about global warming and climate change. This is a good thing, we should be aware of our environment and how we can...

It was an interesting weekend for weather around here. Friday was cool and rainy, temps only got into the low 50's. Rain here in Albany cleared out by early Saturday morning as a warm front surged north of the region, which also caused temperatures to...

Monday turned out to be a pleasant surprise with temps turning out a bit warmer than forecasted. Never underestimate the strong April sun! The morning cloud cover was burned off quickly getting the sun out much sooner than thought and temps a bit higher...

  Today's hearings on Capitol Hill were fascinating to me.  I couldn't get away from the TV.  I couldn't believe the first five minutes of the testimony.  Both Brian McNamee and Roger Clemens take an oath, swear to tell the truth and...

Whether Roger Clemens is lying or not, I don't really care.  What I do care about is how Congress continues to force itself into places where it's role is very unclear.  What is the end game in today's show court, as one Congressman called...

It's about time I gave you something new in this space.  Sorry, it's been a rough couple of weeks. Yes I'm still in Patriots denial.  No way the 18-0 best team ever should have lost to the Giants.  But, that's why they play the games. ...

Friday night in a TV sports department is a challenge on any night.  Especially at FOX23 where we not only put together a half hour high school sports show, but also our regular 10:52 slot on FOX23 News at 10.  Fortunately, our team works well...
