It took a while, but I’ve finally warmed up to the TV show Ghosts. You know, the one where a bevy of spirits inhabit a Hudson Valley home, and cause hijinks and hilarity for the past five years or so. Now this show was originally based on a British sitcom, and many of the archetypes…

A second night of trivia hosting per week
So this is cool. For the past two months, I’ve successfully hosted bar trivia at Beer Bones Bar & Grill in Latham / Loudonville. I get a regular rotation of teams, and it’s a good, solid evening of entertainment. And starting tonight … I’m hosting a second night of trivia. Welcome to Wednesday Night Trivia…
Read MoreUPS slow-walks a tariff invoice to trick me into late fees
With the recent news that the U.S. Postal Service is now re-routing all mail to distribution centers – and postmarking them at the distribution center, rather than at the drop-off point at the post office – I’m worried. See, I’m still a person who likes to mail checks and money orders. I also pay many…
Read MoreI had five heart attacks last night during the Steelers-Baltimore game. I’m fine now.
Steelers-Ravens. Yinzers versus Ratbirds. Their multi-year MVP QB against our multi-year MVP QB. And trust me, my blood pressure bounced up and down more often than the percolator on an old coffee pot. Let’s see. First score by Baltimore. Then we got stuck in a series of 3-and-outs. Then Baltimore snagged a field goal. Then…

The Three Stooges are motion picture comedy icons. No argument on that one. Their Columbia two-reelers spanned from the 1930’s to the late 1950’s, and their popularity increased with repeated television broadcasts. The Stooges also made several full-length motion pictures, including Have Rocket Will Travel, The Three Stooges In Orbit, and The Outlaws IS Coming.…

It’s a new year, it’s a new blog, and a new resolution of sorts. This morning, I’m currently backing everything on my computers and flash drives onto a 16TB external hard drive. Then I’ll put all the flash drives and backup drives in storage, and this way my materials will remain protected over time. It’s…
Read MoreDynamic Shadowing at the Pharmacy
Another day, another trip to the local pharmacy to update my medications. It’s already been a miserable week; what with a local snowstorm knocking out power in my neighborhood; one of my diabetes medicines suddenly needing a new type of insurance approval; and a few other pounds of Earth dumped upon the back of my…
Read MoreEasy New Year’s Resolutions for 2026
Yawn. What time is it? (checks watch) Oh, come on. It’s too early. Gotta go back for another 40 winks. Nope. Let’s get moving. Blog post won’t write itself. This is Chuck-powered, not AI-powered. 2025 had its ups and downs, for sure. Near the end of the year, however, it turned into a chaotic mess.…
Read MoreChuck’s Photo Moments of 2025
And finally, my last blog post of the year … a retrospective of my adventures with my camera gear. Shots taken both with film and with digital. Experimental and standard. Award winners and personal favorites. And all the blog posts created when I created these images. Enjoy.
Read MoreChuck’s best blog moments of 2025
It’s that time of year again. One blog post for my best photos of 2025, one blog post for the best blog moments of 2025. And let’s start with this one from January, where I planned and planned and planned for a photo capture of the sun as it peeks through the 42nd Street New…
