It’s Monday, around noon, and I’m at the Charlton Plaza on the Massachusetts Turnpike, on my way home from vacation. On my trip back from New Brunswick, I passed through about seven miles of New Hampshire – the seven miles of highway that stretch from Maine to Massachusetts. Driving break time, and I pulled into…

K-Chuck Radio: Miles to go before I sleep…
Ah, the wonderful world of travel. Getting in the car and driving long, long distances. But then comes the hard part. Driving home. The vacation was fun, the time spent was fantastic, and I know that I have to get back to the working world. Driving home, however, means that I get to see my…

Yes, I’m still up here in beautiful Saint John, New Brunswick. On moments when I’m not watching the NBL Canada All-Star Skills Competition, I’m walking around downtown, looking for cool things to photograph. And I found a couple of “things,” and I wanted to share them with you today. Apparently Saint John has a “ghost…
Read MoreNBL Canada Championship Game and the Albany Patroons
Talk about an experience. Last night, I drove nearly three hours from Saint John, N.B. to Summerside, Prince Edward Island, to watch Game 4 of the NBL Canada championship best-of-five series between the Summerside Storm and the London (Ont.) Lightning. London was already up 2-1 in the series, so Game 4 would either mean a…

So my buddy and blog-reader Chad9976 asked me if I wanted to participate in another one of his Wreckless Eating / Cult Moo / McFrankenfoods challenges – you know, the ones where you have to eat some McDonald’s menu item in some weird way. Ahh, what the heck. “Meet me at my place,” he said. …

While I’m enjoying my weekend in New Brunswick, I decided to take some pictures at Saints’ Rest Beach and McLarens Beach, which is only a few miles – er, kilometers – from my hotel. It means getting up at 5:00 a.m. – oh wait, that’s Atlantic time, which means I’m really getting up at 4:00…
Read MoreJohn Lennon’s greatest gift to us all… imagination.
I’ve closed my eyes and let my imagination take me to a million different worlds, a million different lifetimes, adventures beyond the stars and wonders throughout time. It’s the ability to use my imagination – and, from those moments of thought and contemplation and reflection, build upon my life – that I feel has been…
Read MoreBlackbird, meet Canada. Canada, meet Blackbird.
I’ve had my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, nicknamed “The Blackbird,” for at least six months now. And now comes its first true test. Road trip to Canada. Specifically, Saint John, New Brunswick, home of this week’s National Basketball League of Canada All-Star Classic. Why am I here? Trust me. It’s an All-Star Game. Actually, counting…
Read MoreToo bad they don’t make Renaults in America any more…
So here’s the deal. The French car manufacturer Renault has just introduced a commercial spotlighting its new car, the Clio. In addition to the car’s exceptional safety features, its kickin’ sound system, and its tight maneuverability, it really has captured the imagination of the small-car market. Oh, it also has on its instrument panel a…
Read MoreThe warehouse
Every so often, when I’m driving along I-787, I’ll see the warehouse. It’s been abandoned for years, a derelict relic along the Troy waterfront. The graffiti artists and the copper thieves have already attached the building. It’s an eyesore that a gallon of Visine couldn’t cure. But it kept catching my attention. Man, I’d love…
