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…

Horny walruses and raunchy senior citizen rappers … Rue Britannia, my ass!
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…
Read MoreWhat’s Up in the Neighborhood, December 31 2022
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. The Saratoga Woods…

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…

Christmas Eve at a covered bridge
It’s Saturday morning. Snow on the ground and snow in the air. This is supposed to be a time of cheer and celebration. Holiday and harmony. Unfortunately … this year I’m spending Christmas with myself. Ugh. Well, maybe I can make something out of this. Something worthwhile. Something that takes away the emptiness. You know…
Read MoreChristmas in Iverhill: Mackie and Charm’s First Date
Mackie checked his watch. Three minutes to 7:00 p.m. He hoped she would arrive soon. Mackie was a punctual person, and he appreciated that trait in others. Sipping a chilly amber beverage from his glass, Mackie glanced up at the wall-mounted bar clock. 6:57 p.m. at the 9N Bar and Grille in Iverhill. Another sip.…
