Chuck’s Photos of 2018
It’s Christmas Eve, and I take this time – in-between last minute shopping and the like – to look back on how my photos did this year. There were some successes and there were some should-have-been successes – as well as some pictures for Competition Season 2019. But these photos are tones I feel really…
Read MoreIf The Littlest Angel were recast today…
This … without argument … was my favorite Christmas special back in the day. It was a Hallmark Hall of Fame special from approximately 1968, and it starred a who’s who of television actors and personalities in a musical retelling of the story about a mischievous angel whose gifts on Earth become an integral part…

Hi. Welcome to the all-new updated blogroll roundup. There’s a whole set of new blogs and bloggers that I’ve added to my blogroll, these are writers who were previously featured every Wednesday in the All Over Albany blog recap.

Read MoreThanks for all the good things, All Over Albany
It was ten years ago – way back when my blog was hosted on a do-it-yourself blogspot.com blogging platform – that I first met Greg Dahlmann and Mary Darcy. They were the operators of a Capital District-themed news and information website, All Over Albany. Both were friendly and encouraging, and they hosted my blog on…

Two other dramas, Time After Time and Frequency, were based on successful theatrical releases; neither of those shows lasted past a few weeks. Another time travel show, a…

An aluminum rainbow
When I’m satisfied with a business or with a merchant, I will use them again for future projects. Case in point. Although my local print lab, McGreevy ProLab, does the lion’s share of my artistic prints, they do not have the facilities available for printing my photos on metal substrates. This is where I call…
Read MoreSo I watched They Shall Not Grow Old last night…
Last night, I took in a rare (for me) Monday night motion picture, as the Peter Jackson-directed documentary They Shall Not Grow Old premiered for the first date of a two-night engagement. And can I say this? The film was totally impressive. Peter Jackson took 100-year-old footage from World War I (the “Great War”) or…
Read MoreTommy Hoehn’s “Losing You to Sleep” is an Album I Want To Be Buried With
It’s 1981, and I’m a senior in high school. My music teacher, George Mastrangelo, would sometimes give us albums that he had acquired. And, for some reason, he gave me this one. Now I had never heard of Tommy Hoehn, I didn’t know his music, as far as I was concerned, this probably came from…
Read MoreYou say “Wee Pals,” I say “Kid Power.”
When this tweet came up in my Twitter feed a few days ago, it brought back some smiles. Today in Comics History: "Wee Pals" creator Morrie Turner, a true trailblazer for inclusivity and multicultural perspectives on the comics page, was born on December 11, 1923. pic.twitter.com/7F187mrfE9 — Tom Heintjes (@Hoganmag) December 11, 2018 Morrie Turner…
