So … I actually looked forward to seeing the new DC Universe streaming animated series Harley Quinn. I realize that with a subscription service, you can air programs with more “adult” content to them – language, for example – that you can’t do on Saturday morning network TV. I’ve seen examples of this in the…

Chuck’s Best Blog Posts of 2019
It is that time once again … a time to recap all the adventures from 2019. The good … the bad … the strong … the tough … the ones that are essentially Chuck. Before I recap … thank you, my blog readers, for visiting my page every day. I don’t know if I’ve entertained…

It’s tough for a guy to get Laowa’d these days …
My current setup for macro photography – a series of extension tubes and an old HELIOS-81 piece of Commie glass – is okay, I guess. I was able to create the macro photos After the Rain and Mittsu No Yuki with them, but SIX extension tubes and a 50mm f/2 prime lens makes a person’s…
Read MoreWhy am I betting against the Pittsburgh Steelers today?
At this point in time, all I want is for the Pittsburgh Steelers to snag the #6 seed and make the postseason, despite their ragtag offense and an injured list that resembles what would happen if the NFL placed a team in Beirut. All that needs to happen is for Pittsburgh to beat the Baltimore…
Read MoreWhat’s Up in the Neighborhood, December 28 2019
The last “Neighborhood” blog post of 2019. Heck, it’s the last one of the decade. So next week’s “Neighborhood” post will be the first of 2020 … and it’ll be the first of the new Roaring 20’s. So, with 2020, 24 hours and so to go, I wanna be … I dunno, satiated? Okay, end…
Read MoreWait, Amazon sells books? Really? Since when?? :D
Last month, I visited the Great American Train Expo at the Empire State Plaza. The train show features working models and layouts of various train sets. For hobbyists, there are also train ephemera and memorabilia from popular lines, so you can really have fun at these events. As I arrived at the train show, I…
Read MoreThe Beef Jerky Riot at Crossgates Mall
Ah, those classic stories of holiday consumerism. The Black Friday stampedes at 4:00 in the morning as people fight to get through the doors to buy those $200 flatscreens. The knock-down, drag-em-out’s of three mothers fighting over the last two Cabbage Patch dolls or Tickle Me Elmo toys. Yeah, thankfully we’re not doing that any…
Read MoreChristmas in Iverhill: A Broadcast for Shauna Moire
December 17, 1973. To listeners, Shauna Moire started her radio show at 9:00 p.m. “Shauna Moire.” Even the name itself wasn’t all true. She signed her paychecks as “Sandra Moyer,” answered to her mother and father with that same name. But on the air, she was “Shauna,” a name evoking sunshine and sandy beaches and…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The Christmas Songs without Christmas in them
Just for the heck of it, I thought about Christmas songs that didn’t have any Christmas-themes to them – or, if they did mention Christmas, it was in passing. Probably just because it’s Christmas Eve, and I’ve already written a blog post for tomorrow (what, you think I’m getting up on Christmas morning to write…
Read MoreThe Donation at Operation Gratitude
Yes, I made a last-minute run to Crossgates Mall yesterday, for the specific purpose of buying some last-minute Christmas gifts. Don’t judge me, I’m sure there are some of you who are waiting until tomorrow to get your shopping done. That being said, during my run from store to store, I passed by a charity…
