This is why I can’t trust anything any more. A while back, a friend of mine alerted me to a YouTube video in which someone told the plight of Kristie Tunick, a Las Vegas woman who suffers from a very rare disorder. Here’s my original blog post on the topic. Now I’m finding out that…

Remember the Darkhorse Marines
Think about the most dangerous part of Afghanistan. A place where the Taliban still has a stranglehold on the community and can still wage war against American forces. A place where British troops have lost over one-third of their soldiers. And now the district – Sangin, in Helmand province in Afghanistan – is where the…

Apparently human remains consistent with the age and description of missing Central New York college student Jenni-Lyn Watson were found in a swampy area of Clay Central Park, near Syracuse, today.

Read MoreA prayer for the safe return of Jenni-Lyn Watson
This isn’t my normal area of expertise. My blog isn’t equipped to do things like hunt down missing teenagers or reunite lost family members. I’m Chuck Miller. I’m not John Walsh. But someone brought me an article about a missing Syracuse college student, and asked if I could at least help spread the word. Take…

If you looked at that headline and gave a general “What in the world is Chuck rambling on about” response, I can understand. If you looked at that headline and your heart sank, then you – like me – are witness to the passing of an era in recorded sound. As of October 31, 2010,…
Read MoreThe Beatles as Saturday Morning Cartoons
A few days ago, I posted a “Ten for” blog post, featuring ten rock musicians and groups that turned into Saturday morning cartoons. Well, apparently I surprised a few people when I posted a YouTube clip of a Saturday morning cartoon show featuring The Beatles. Follow along with me on this one. Apparently in the…
Read MoreHow the Pontiac 6000 once saved my life
I was thinking about something today. How, in a matter of an instant, our lives change when two unrelated cars collide. Instantly our plans and destinations change; we suddenly start looking for insurance cards in our glove boxes and trying to explain to the officers who was at fault and who wasn’t paying attention. And…

Ian McCarthy is the general manager of the Saint John (New Brunswick) Mill Rats of the Premier Basketball League. Before then, he was the general manager of the team when it played in Manchester, New Hampshire as the Millrats (one word, it’s two words now) from 2007 to 2010; and before then, when the team…
