There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Another season of my "other gig" is underway. The Buffalo Jr. Sabres' Ontario Junior Hockey League season got underway Friday. After a long week in the radio news business, this is a nice escape. (Here's my traditional 'view from my spot' in LECOM Harborcenter pic)

How my Friday night went. Final home game of the season for the Niagara Falls Americans of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. They're not going to the playoffs but won the home finale, 4-1. Had to get my traditional end of season sunset pics and one of me leaving ... until next season.

Music influencers are getting paid to promote songs — and they're not telling you
Social media can make a song go viral — even push it up the pop charts — seemingly overnight. Perhaps it's not surprising that some influencers are being paid to promote music without disclosing it.

The past two nights I played in 3-hour hockey games as part of the #11daypowerplay to raise $ for cancer research and related support programs. While I've done this before, this year I was back after missing last year due to injury. THANK YOU to all who supported my campaign and encouraged me.
