In my college days I volunteered as a DJ for the campus student-run radio station: 90.5 WHRW, Binghamton, NY. I remember we had to pass a test to get officially licensed, and spent a semester as an apprentice with a licensed DJ. I passed my test the first time. So when it was time for Continue Reading

30JulGet bit! Save 15% at the Fashion Bug
Worst bee sting I ever got? That's easy. Flash back to the '80s. Nice hot summer day. I was at the town pool with my mom and sister, probably hanging out with my neighborhood friend Eddie. There's a huge grassy hill that leads up to fence at one side of the whole park. I remember Continue Reading
28JulGotta be the shoes (or the 20% off more likely)
Even if you can't jump (like me and Woody Harrelson), you can appreciate "the shoes." I've always like Nike, though I never quote understood what their swoosh logo is all about. Now Puma, that's a name I can understand. A big scary cat that can run way faster than me. But a swoosh? I guess Continue Reading
26JulFeet sale! 30% off at Footlocker.
Oops. Sorry. My mistake. Apparently Footlocker sells neither feet nor lockers. But they do have a decent selection of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment. And speaking of feet, I have pretty average feet. Honestly, I don't even remember what size I wear. I buy sneakers/shoes so infrequently, I never remember. I think it's around an Continue Reading
26JulSave on Bloomies! Er, that’s Bloomingdales, not underpants…
Okay, so maybe it's BloomERS, not BloomIES that refers to big honkin' undergarments. So sue me. Wait, don't. Please don't. I really don't have the time, nor the funds for that... I also can't think of 1 good tie-in anecdote to Bloomingdales. Nope, not a one. So, instead I'll tell you my all-time favorite joke. Continue Reading
25JulReady, set, draw! Save 10% on art supplies.
Remember the show "Win, Lose or Draw"? I think Bettie White used to host it even. That was right around the time Pictionary was THE game everyone, no matter their age, was playing. I was soooo bad at that game. Decent at guessing, but I'm such a terrible artist, nobody ever could guess what the Continue Reading
24JulGet 70% off food! Or pay just 30%! You decide!
Food rules. I'm pretty open to trying just about anything and everything. Though if it has olives on it, forget about it. Don't know why, but I've always hated olives. Doesn't matter if they're green or black. They're all nasty. I used to hate mushrooms as a kid too and now I love them. So Continue Reading
23JulOprah, Green Tea and Me
I like tea. Iced in the summer, hot as the sun during winter. And while I've tried all sorts of different teas, I've come to realize that I really don't like any berry-types of teas. I can't explain why, I just find them very fake tasting. But give me an Earl Grey, English Breakfast or Continue Reading
20JulC is for Cookie, that’s 15% off for you and me…
Cookies rule. Even stale ones. Come on, like you wouldn't stuff your face with stale Chips Ahoy or Oreos if they were sitting there in front of you just staring you in the face. But yeah fresh-baked cookies right out of the oven are the closest any of us will probably ever come to nirvana Continue Reading
20JulBe an Athletic Supporter!
Wow, 2 sports-related coupons in a row? It must be the height of summer! Well since I already told you guys about breaking my dad's nose in my early years of little league, I can flash forward to my final year in little league... I normally played center field (I was fast, so I did Continue Reading
19JulOn whose authority? Sports Authority! Oh, and a broken nose!
Yeah, that title's a real stretch. Sorry. It's real cloudy and rainy out. Dark as anything. So that just makes it real tough to come up with something punny and witty and clever. If it helps, I'm off to see the new "Harry Potter" flick tonight, so that's also distracting me. Hmm... Sports Authority... sports. Continue Reading
