About this blog
Mike Argento, a York native and graduate of York Suburban Area High School and Penn State, first came to the York Daily Record in 1983. He even had gray hair back then. After stints covering everything from cops to city hall to state government to the environment, he began writing a column for the paper, three times a week, in 1989. His column can be about anything and so is his blog, which encompasses life in York County and beyond. And, for the record, as he told his wife the other night, he wishes people would stop asking him, 'What's wrong with you?' He really doesn't know.

This week, Tom and I worked out some jokes about Amy Winehouse — What? Too soon? — and recalled Harleys. But first, a joke about an obscene phone caller. A 43-year-old Central Pennsylvania man was sentenced to probation in Cumberland … Continue reading

Happy Shark Week!
Tom and I were really glad that that whole debt ceiling thing was solved early on during Shark Week. It would have been a shame had that political spectacle spoiled Shark Week. We discuss Shark Week and a documentary titled … Continue reading
