- I don't share a ton of personal news on here, but I'm feeling pretty good about this: Six months ago, I started @ww_us to try and finally get my weight under control. As of this morning, I'm down 102.3 pounds. Still a long way to go, but proud of how far I've come.

- With that SOME PERSONAL NEWS: As of tomorrow, very excited to be joining the @dgazette/@dgazettesports team and continuing to provide awesome sports coverage, both for longtime followers in this area and beyond. Some very exciting stuff in the pipeline.Little bit of a bittersweet day as today is the final edition of The Recorder to be produced at the 1 Venner Road office in Amsterdam. Starting tomorrow, operations move over to The Daily Gazette in Schenectady.
- Replying to @__AKUMAThis entire Dynamite was a masterclass in letting guys get over by just doing awesome wrestling -- Lee, Claudio, Hobbs, Takeshita, the list goes on and on.
- Another milestone for Glens Falls' @JG3_____, as he passes St. Johnsville's Caryn Schoff (now Caryn Kovatch) for the most points scored by any NY high school basketball player, regardless of gender. Schoff scored 3,548 points for the Saints from 1989-95.
