Albertus Magnus High School at rest stop

Okay this is gonna be a quick entry. Laptop battery is low, it’s on the red. Plus, I learned from the last entry that I get nauseous typing on the bus. The movement along with the wafting smells of someone’s tuna sandwich was not good.

Rockland anti-abortion marchers get up early … *yawn*

January

By about 6 a.m. this morning the bus scheduled to leave from St. Joseph’s Church in Spring Valley for Washington, D.C., still hadn’t arrived yet; and the about 55 people heading to the nation’s capital to participate in the 35th annual March for Life rally, instead, attempted to keep warm, idling in their cars.

Today hundreds [...]

And with the advances in technology, it’s a particularly exciting time given print reporters now have the ability to post videos on the Web along with a slew of other multimedia options.

Rockland artists take on skateboard challenge

November

So … in today’s paper, I wrote an article about the Rockland Center for the Arts’ recent project, which had artists design skateboard decks to raise money for the nonprofit’s children’s programs. (Read more about that here: Rockland artists take on skateboard challenge.) And while I was at the center I was a bit photo-happy. [...]

The softer side of Vinnie Reda

July

So was eating outdoors at a cafe in Nyack Thursday, catching up with a pal, when a small and very adorable black-haired Shih Tzu snuck under our table and began sniffing at our legs.

Jesus’ face in Nyack?

May
30

So I was out walking along Main Street in Nyack, when I noticed a bearded face staring out at me from the vacant Coldstone window. Immediately and with childlike enthusiasm, I thought, “Jesus? Could it be?” But just as quickly I reconsidered, seeing that it was a sticker … and that the bearded man had [...]
