My blog buddy Roger Green recently wrote about the Three Stooges, specifically, one of their classic stage routines, the iconic “Niagara Falls” bit. Also known as “Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch.” Here’s the clip in question. Crazy thing about this clip. It wasn’t originally filmed as part of the “Gents Without…

The Passage of Peace memorial
This would be my final weekend to capture this monument. And last Sunday … I got it. Let me explain. In 2021, the Oneida Indian Nation erected a series of nine giant tipis along the New York State Thruway, as part of an art project and memorial called “Passage of Peace.” The tipis represent unity…
Read MoreXavier Moon gets 10 days and a dream fulfilled
It’s absolutely fantastic when you can celebrate someone achieving their life goal. And for Xavier Moon – he reached it yesterday, and has a chance to cement it in the next ten days. For those of you who remember Xavier Moon as a member of the Albany Patroons during the Pats’ 2018 season, you saw…
Read MoreChuck’s best blog moments of 2021
It’s time once again to look back at the preceding twelve months. 2021 has been a rather interesting year, and as one college professor once told me, “‘Interesting’ is the weakest word in the English language.” Well, I’ll take what I can get on this. So there. And with that in mind, here are ten…

Read MoreI did a kindness at DePaula Chevrolet.
Update on the condition of Dracourage. Recently, my beloved 2013 Chevrolet Cruze emitted a foul, oil-burning stench. I initially thought it was residual oil that had spilled when DePaula changed the car’s oil a few weeks ago. But the stench festered, and it became so foul that it actually ruined a romantic date. I nursed…
Read MoreMy review of the 4Ocean face mask insert.
As promised, the following is totally unbiased and accurate review of the 4Ocean.com face mask insert. They’re little plastic inserts that clip onto your face mask, and are advertised as allowing you to breathe better and feel more comfortable with a non-surgical face mask. I purchased a standard pack of inserts from 4Ocean. The box…
Read MoreA cure for mask-fogged glasses AND plastic pollution?
I’m okay with wearing face masks so that we can get past COVID-19 as quickly as possible. That, and I’m also triple-Pfizered, so there’s that.
