Some bloggers, when they can’t think of a new idea for a new blog post, or they don’t feel like writing one, simply go back to their archives, pull out an old blog post from last year or two years ago, change the publication date, and voila – instant blog post. Before anybody says, “Hey…

Holiday Photos with the Professor’s Wife – and the Professor’s Wife’s Husband – and a Bottle Service model, too!
It’s Saturday morning, November 12th, there’s a chill in the air, and the leaves are slowly rustling through the grass on the Siena College campus. I’ve packed my Nikon D700 digital, along with my Nikon F100 film camera and a new camera that I’m not ready to tell anyone about just yet. And now I…
Read More100,000 miles achieved in Cardachrome!
I almost missed the milestone. With everything going on in my life the past few days, I barely noticed that my odometer on Cardachrome was at 99998. I was two miles away from it reaching 100,000 miles – and, for that matter, more than two miles away from my home. And somewhere on I-787, just…
Read More“We would love to purchase your Volkswagen, Mr. Miller…”
If you’ve even read my blog for a short time, you know how I feel about my cars. First, my beloved Pontiac 6000, and currently my Saturn Ion “Cardachrome.” I’m a General Motors man through and through. So when I received a letter from Garvey Volkswagen a few days ago, I took notice. First off…
Read MoreThe best holiday special of all time… brought to you by General Electric
You may not be aware that one of the best holiday specials of all time, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, is entering its 50th year of broadcast. That’s fine. You may also not be aware that the Christmas special was actually part of an anthology show called the General Electric Fantasy Hour – or that the…
Read MoreWeek 11 of the $2,000 2011 Elbo Room Trivia Tournament
Before I give any reports on the competitive team trivia scene, some updates. My daughter Cassaundra is out of intensive care, she’s been moved from ICU to a general bed. Everybody from her friends to her family to her military soldiers in arms have paid her a visit, have posted on her Facebook page, have…
Read MoreWhy I don’t care that Demi Moore filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher today
First of all, I haven’t really cared about the acting careers of either Demi Moore or Ashton Kutcher for maybe a decade or two. Their names come up when I play team trivia – usually the question is, “How much older is Demi Moore than Ashton Kutcher?” and the answer is 15 years. Whoop dee…
Read MoreWhat’s white, made of aluminum and fires twelve shots?
It’s my new 127 camera. Yep. To replace my recently donated Ansco Cadet camera, I snagged a 1958 Revere Eye-Matic EE 127 rangefinder camera off eBay. And I know you’re all looking at me and saying, “Oh geez, Chuck got yet ANOTHER camera. What does this camera do that all his others can’t?” Well, for…
Read MoreI need every prayer anyone can spare
It’s Monday night. I’m playing team trivia at Brown’s Brewing, and doing quite well. My teammates Jeremy and Alexis are running late. As I bring up one of the slips to trivia host Steven Murray, Wayne from the Blue Mooned trivia team asks me how my daughter Cassaundra is doing. In other words, he reads…
Read MoreAlbums I Want to Be Buried With: Heaven 17, “Penthouse and Pavement” (UK vinyl version)
Okay, this is one of those instances where I have to specifically delineate which version of an LP I want in the casket. Because what we would consider the American version of this LP – which would have been simply titled Heaven 17 – has some rearranged tracks and misses one important audio trick. Anyways……
