This morning I woke up and discovered that we’re now headed for a Trump presidency. And I thought the side effects of my new pain medicines couldn’t make me any more nauseous. With that in mind, I’d like to bring up a thought. In my lifetime, I’ve experienced Presidential administrations going all the way back…

Pull the lever, fill in the circle
Just wanted to share this little video I made a few years ago – four years ago, to be precise. And the words still ring true, even if the candidates are different. You need to vote today. Get out to your polling place and vote for the candidate of your choice. Vote for the person…
Read MoreLiz Frank and the Frankenboot
I don’t know when it started. I don’t know if it started and I never knew it. But Friday night, I was in the emergency room. My foot was throbbing in pain. I could barely walk on it. And all the times I thought it might be something else – a blood clot, an infection,…
Read MoreThe results of BUILT 2016
For the sixth consecutive year, I am fortunate in that my artworks have been accepted to the Capital Region’s premier charity art show, Historic Albany Foundation’s BUILT: Architecture Through Artists’ Eyes.

Read MoreSkip a YouTube ad, catch some malware?
Yesterday, I was zipping around YouTube, looking for some clips for an upcoming K-Chuck Radio blog entry. One of the tracks I wanted to include was an upcoming collaboration between Pentatonix and Manhattan Transfer on a version of “White Christmas” from Pentatonix’ upcoming album.

Read MoreWeek 5 of the 2016 Graney’s Stout Fall Trivia League
I should not be here tonight. My leg still feels like someone injected me with a can of Fix-A-Flat. Yet while I’m aching, I have to gtet back to some semblance of normalcy. And “normalcy” means competitive team trivia. Playing team trivia has gotten me through various humps and valleys in my life, and the…

Who wants some eyebleach?
So I’ve had a rough couple of days, which culminated yesterday in a hospital visit. Thankfully, I received some medicine to get better, but still… it’s been rough. And there’s so much crap about the 2016 Presidential election… at this point, choosing between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is like my wanting to pull out…
Read MoreSaturday morning cartoons that starred live-action comedians
Sometimes as a kid, when I was watching Saturday morning cartoons, I happened to come across little short shows that featured comedy teams from the past, or comedians from the present. I thought this was an odd phenomenon – having late night comedians appear in materials that were well-toned-down for the Cap’n Crunch set –…
Read MoreNBL Canada begins its sixth season
Six years ago, three men – Vincent Bernier, Ian McCarthy and Andre Levingston – broke their teams away from the independent Premier Basketball League and formed a new professional basketball circuit, the National Basketball League of Canada. I joined up with them for the 2011-12 season, and have remained with the NBL even after those…
