Yawn. Can’t sleep. Insomnia kicking in. Do not like. Must find a way to go back to sleep and get my zzzzz’s… I could sit and read several blogs by several community bloggers, but that wouldn’t put me to sleep. Honestly, that would in fact keep me awake, because I’d want to read more community…

It’s Monday morning. I’m off to Syracuse to complete the drive of shame – to pick up my four non-accepted artworks from the New York State Fair. Must get up nice and early, and make this a quick “out-and-back” trip. Unlike last year, when I had to remove all six of my non-accepted photo, this…

Rutland, Vivaldi, and ripped blue jeans
Sweltering Sunday. It’s the day when I spend time at the Altamont Fair, the final day for the 2015 Fair run. During this day, I visited the animal barns, I checked out the stunt shows, I even tried to throw little plastic rings onto the necks of beer bottles to win a prize (no such…

Caption Time: I got photobombed by a…
I was at the Altamont Fair last Tuesday… and just for the heck of it, I took a selfie photo. And maybe I should have looked behind me before I took said selfie photo. Background, Chuck, always check your background. But I’ll let you, my loyal blog readers, have fun with this one. Give me…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: More silly 70’s songs
Sometimes I get frustrated when I listen to popular music. It’s 95% junk. It’s 97% fluff. And I say to myself, “The music I enjoyed in the 197o’s wasn’t this painful, was it?” And then I realize… there were a few chunks of pyrite and feldspar in the gold that was part of my musical…

Six little white postcards from Syracuse 2015…
I knew they were coming. And they’re in my mailbox right now. Six little white postcards from Syracuse. I went through this dance last year. Each one of those postcards has a single checkmark in one of two boxes. If the checkmark is on the box marked “NOT ACCEPTED,” then my foam-boarded artwork associated with…
Read MoreBest of our TU Community Blogs, August 13, 2015: Ten for Thursday
You would think that every week I would log in, find ten blog posts by ten TU bloggers, and I’d be done. Not this week. See, as part of the Times Union’s revamp of the timesunion.com website, the clickable link on the TU homepage’s tool bar – the one that said “Blogs” – disappeared. And…

My 2015 Altamont Fair entries are…
No more talk about the Altamont Curse. I’ve earned ribbons in the past two years, and three sets of ribbons in the past four seasons. So I need to shut my trap about any godforsaken Altamont Curse. It doesn’t exist any more. It’s in the past. Let it stay in the past. No more talk…
