Insanity Sizing
Last weekend, I spent some time shopping for jeans with my girl and was reminded of one of my biggest-of-the-big pet peeves - Vanity Sizing! I told my lovely daughter that I am sorry she was born into the age of 'Size 00.' To my daughter and the other young women of today, please know you are not the size of nothing...
Siri Says…!
I've always been fascinated by Barbra Streisand. Not because of her talent, but because she insists she is not a diva. Maybe she's not, however YEARS of evidence to the contrary continue to pile up. And there's nothing cuter than a diva proclaiming she's "normal and boring" just like everyone else!

Old Farmer’s Nonsense
The irony isn't lost on me that I just clicked 'like' on the Old Farmer's Almanac Facebook page. It would seem to me that if you're going to keep the name that makes it sound like you're still in the 1800's, you maybe shouldn't ALSO get to keep a social media account from the 21st century, but that is a different argument for another day...
Best 50 Cents I Spent All Summer
I know, I know...on one of the hottest and most uncomfortable days of the summer, it's hard to think about sending kids back to school. I get it! However, the school supplies are in the stores and I just can't help myself. Even though it's been 30 years since *I* went back to school, I still love buying school supplies...
Staring Contest! You and Me, Go!
It's no secret that I love fifth grade boys.
Wait. That doesn't sound quite right! Here's what I mean...
The Story Of Tracy’s Lap and How The Fox Came To Be There
I prefer to call this story A Fox Named Gumby, but what are you gonna do?
For 30 years this picture has delighted and sickened hundreds of those fortunate enough to gaze upon it. Now, you can hear the story of how it came to be as told by me (Tracy McCray) to James Rabe and the Y105FM Early Morning Show listeners...
Y105’s Insane Playlist
Just like that, the summer is off and running! Memorial Day is in the rear view mirror, the kids are out of school and I'm itching at my first mosquito bite of the season. Up next? The Insane Inflatable 5K this weekend. Have you tried it yet...
Got to Love the Zipper Merge!
On a most basic level, when I depart this life, I want to know that I've made a difference.
Isn't that what all of us want?
This is why each spring, at the start of road construction season, I spread the love of the Zipper Merge.
What's THAT, you say...
Hot DOG!
Once upon a time, James Rabe and I hosted a morning radio show WITHOUT the benefit of Google. Just imagine that for a moment! Somehow we pulled it off each day with just a pot of coffee and a complete set of encyclopedias.
Amazing!
This morning James was talking about a survey that discovered the answer to the question: What do you like on your hot dog...
Rochester’s Signs of Summer
I love this time of year!
Truth be told, I love the change of seasons no matter what time of year it is. YES, I love winter too! (But let us leave that conversation for another day.) Seriously, I'll never want to live where the weather is either hot or hotter...
