The other day, I visited the new South End Grocery (the former McDonald’s on North Pearl Street and Madison Avenue). It’s a small little shopping center, but it has lots of tasty items and staples, including fresh vegetables and meats. It also has something I’ve been meaning to try for a while. Hash Browns in…

So much for a “good deed has its rewards,” BJ’s Wholesale Club. Meh.
I was shopping at what was once the location of Northway Mall (now a strip mall with a Target and a Lowe’s and a BJ’s Wholesale Club, among others) when, upon leaving the Lowe’s, I noticed something on the ground. It was a membership card for BJ’s Wholesale Club. Someone must have dropped it. Well,…
Read MoreCall it a tie and make a donation, NFL. For Damar Hamlin’s sake.
As a Steelers fan, it’s not in my nature to watch a Buffalo Bills – Cincinnati Bengals Monday Night Football game. But this morning, I heard the horrifying news. Damar Hamlin, a safety for the Buffalo Bills who was getting plenty of starts and playing time in relief of the injured Micah Hyde, tackled Cincinnati’s…

What’s the best way to ring in the year 2023? Champagne? Confetti? Paper horns? Off-key performances of Auld Lang Syne? Oh, this has them all beat. And I do mean “beat.” So here’s the deal. Somehow a walrus wound up on the beach in Scarborough, England. Now a walrus is not something one sees in…
Read MoreMy son has rocks in his head. And that’s okay.
Never underestimate the determination of my son Kris. I’ve learned that and I respect that. Background. Years ago, while serving in the Army National Guard, Kris was trained as a computer specialist. He still knows his way around a computer today, although the computers of 2023 are more technologically diverse and specialized than those he…

Good morning, blog readers. Glad to have you here. It’s the final day of 2022 (although by the time this gets published, 2023 will start appearing in places like New Zealand and some Pacific islands). With that in mind, let’s recap the blogroll and see what everyone’s up to this fine morning. Have a great…

The Nightowl Radio Show playlist for December 30, 2022
The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. It’s the last show of 2022, and I’ve got a mixture of rare 60’s music, rare 70’s music, some easy listening tracks,…
Read MoreChuck’s Best Photos of 2022
With tomorrow being a WHCL “Nightowl Radio Show” playlist, and Saturday designated as a “What’s Up in the Neighborhood” blogroll recap, this is essentially the last day of 2022 for me to share my personal recap of ten Chuck Miller-captured photos and my feelings about capturing them. So if you’ll indulge me on this wee…
Read MoreSo I don’t have to wait until Easter after all??
Earlier this month, I cashed in the lion’s share of my General Motors loyalty points for a set of custom floor mats for my 2017 Chevrolet Volt Premier (“Lightning’s Girl”). I ordered the mats, got confirmation that my order was received – and then 20 minutes later, was told that my order was backordered. Now…
Read MoreKimba the White Lion was his name!
This almost seems like a fever dream. In the 1960’s, a Japanese animated TV show premiered in the United States, and told the serialized story of a lion cub who endured capture and escape to return to his pridelands and bring unity to the animals of his kingdom. And not one single Hakuna Matata in…
