So I’m on my soapbox. With the rash of a couple big fires, I’m thinking about CANDLES again. Do you realize what you are doing when you light a candle in your home or apartment? You have just increased dramatically the chances that you are going to burn your place down. So is it really […]

Random Insurance tidbits
Last night on Facebook, I jotted down some random personal thoughts. I thought today, I’d let the insurance brain go crazy! So here you go: 1. Make sure having collision on your car makes sense. If your car is 6-7 years old, check the book value at Kelly or Edmunds or some other online site. […]
Can drunk driving burn your house down?
Well maybe, but probably not. In the last number of years, there has been a rash of tenant fires at 3 am because someone comes in from a night of drinking, is hungry, lights up the stove and then falls asleep. Up goes the house. But that is not what I want to about. First, […]
My dress!
Can you tell from Rachel’s face that she is not happy? This was supposed to be her BIG day and look what happened to her $7500 dress. And if that wasn’t enough, she just found out that the caterer went out of business last week and she’s out her $1000 deposit. And the worst part- […]
So much to do, so little time.
Ever notice how much there is to do in the Glens Falls area? And its not just when the sun is shining and warmer. It seems like almost every weekend and many weekdays, there is a ton of stuff going on. The tough thing is making the choice of what to experience. This past Saturday […]
A m2con kinda day!
Do you ever have one of those days that you’re just a little overwhelmed, but in a good way? I had one of those on Thursday May 2, 2013 and it was the folks at Mannix Marketing that made it possible. And it’s funny because at the last minute, I was having second thoughts […]
You're kidding!
So I had the van this morning since it’s Wednesday and Grandpa’s taxi is transporting all three and the Riskmobile is a little too small for Lucas! And since I’m the insurance guy who breathes “safety”, I like my cars clean, especially the windows so you can see clearly. SO the van was still grimey […]

Are you somebody who tries to “do it all”? I can sometimes be like that. As I get older though, I see the wisdom in allowing other people to help. Here is a good example. The picture is of Jim Mclaughlin http://mclaughlinphoto.com. He is VERY good at what he does. When we […]
Sunday Reflection
I’ve had a couple days to reflect on the Dinner. And the more I think about it, the more I confirm that the most important aspect of our lives are RELATIONSHIPS. Family, friends, staff, clients, customers, company, acquaintances, strangers. Doesn’t matter, people are people and our interaction with each other is the lifeblood of our […]
Checklist
So here it is Thursday morning March 7th and it is the day of the BIG dinner. Do you know what is unfair? Being told 6 weeks ago or so that you have to give a speech. Do you know how many times I have “thought about” this speech. You are correct-I’ve lost track. Boy […]
