On April 8th the total solar eclipse will pass through Western and Upstate New York. We know that we have to wear protective glasses and take other precautions, but what about protecting our furry friends?

Few could have predicted the whirlwind success of Jelly Roll. In just a few short years he's topped the charts, won countless music awards and inspired millions - and we're excited to announce his headline tour, coming to Albany this September!

What can help with the worries these St. Jude patients have? It's therapy dogs and they are amazing at their jobs.

The morning after an out-of-town truck driver slammed into the Maple Ave Bridge in Glenville - causing a volcanic propane-fueled explosion - area truck drivers and eyewitnesses weighed in on how and why this happened.

The big day is here. Finally the debut of that NFL Amazon "Stat That" commercial that I am in will be airing today (Thanksgiving Day).

Yesterday was my big day to be in an NFL commercial that will be seen by millions of people. I know! So crazy. I still can't believe they picked me. I found out that I was one of only seven people selected to have a speaking role. The commercial I was cast for was as a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan on a boat with another guy watching Tom Brady throw a winning touchdown. We were to cheer loudly and say, "stat that".

I will be the first to admit that I am usually the loudest mom cheering at my son, Ryan's baseball games. I just love to watch him play and I also encourage his teammates in a positive, sometimes too boisterous way. I never yell anything negative, but I do come up with some clever nicknames and phrases when I cheer. Oh and I also mic myself up. This week, I found a way to work a popular and funny commercial into my "Big League Chooch".
