Will your kids trick or treat this year?
I'm ready. I've got my bag of candy. But, I have a feeling that I'll be enjoying most of this candy myself. For the last few years, I've only gotten about 25 trick or treaters. And, that was before COVID-19. So, will you let your kids go door-to-door...

You've seen the pictures here at nj1015.com...long lines at the Motor Vehicle Commission. Just recently, Deminski and Doyle were asking you if it's still "that bad" at the MVC. I've been reading and watching (and listening), with apprehension, knowing it's time to get my car inspected...

Spice up your life, New Jersey. Long before there was nj1015.com, some of the biggest radio stations put out monthly fan magazines. I found this recipe in a radio station "fanzine" from the...1930s. This easy spice cake makes for a great dessert, or snack...

From time to time, I talk about it on-air on the weekends on New Jersey 101.5. For the last couple years, I've been bowling in a league. Before you get too excited, I'm not that good...just "average." But I do have fun. As I say, bowling proves that frustration can be fun (at times)...

I have long felt that my "Chili Casserole" is worthy of being on anyone's "favorite recipes" list...and its a great "go-to" meal. It's comfort food. This casserole is delicious...a family favorite...that is easy to make. Brown 1/2 lb hamburger (more if you want it "meaty") Turkey burger works just as well...

A flagpole for 9/11
For as long as I can remember, a flag has always been flying at my Dad's place. Originally, there was a flag bracket by the garage door. Later, the flag moved to the driveway fence...as it was easier to see/enjoy from the road...

In the late '80s and early '90s, I had the chance to "hang out" some very cool chart-toppers. This is the story about the time I got to "hang out" with Adam Ant. Adam was born Stuart Goddard, an only child, November 3, 1954, in Marylebone, London, England...

Yeah, times are tough in our COVID-19 world. But, you are in charge of your feelings, your mood. Think positive, New Jersey. And, pass those vibes along. Like I saw on a restaurant erase board on the boardwalk in Asbury Park: "Happiness is contagious...

Friday night was a nice summer night...and, I actually had a little spare time. What to do...for fun? I wanted to "cruise" Main Street in Somerville. Check out the classic cars, maybe bump into a few friends, and grab a bite to eat...

One couldn't ask for a nicer afternoon than we had, for our final live broadcast of this summer season. It was sunny, and breezy. A comfortable 78 degrees, along the boardwalk in Asbury Park. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the "New Jersey Natural Gas Asbury Park Boardwalk Studio," to say hello...
