Normally, when I put my Dream Window art projects in charitable auctions, they’re bought, they’re appreciated, and I am comforted in the knowledge that these artworks are in new homes. And last year, I thought that happened with Dream Window 11: Saratoga’s Healing Waters, my photo of the waterfall adjacent to the Copeland Bridge in…

The forgotten Gene Kelly animated television special
Ah, Gene Kelly. One of the greatest actors / dancers in cinema. His films are classics. Singin’ in the Rain. An American in Paris. Anchors Aweigh. Jack and the Beanstalk. Wait… Jack and the Beanstalk?!? Yeps. In 1967, Gene Kelly worked with the Hanna-Barbera animation studio to craft a musical version of the vintage children’s…
Read MorePark Kurt Busch NOW, NASCAR!
You know what? I’m sick and tired of seeing athletes and sports figures abusing family members – whether it be spouses, children, significant others or the like. And I’m especially sick and tired of seeing the sanctioning bodies of these sports fumble their way through a mock investigation, maybe a suspension for a week or…

“This is supposed to be a safe place,” Bate the terrier barked. “And now I’m scared.” Vincent the tabbycat had no answers. All he knew was that the one thing Bate feared from the living world – the demonic fighting canine from the dogfighting ring, the same ring where Bate was used as “bait” to…

Read MoreAmish Mafia Episode Review: “A Church Divided”
With only eight episodes left until the Amish Mafia series finale, let’s see what’s going on in wacky Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Jeez, at this point in time, I almost expect to see Lebanon Levi and his Amish going to war with Doug Duevil and his Mennonites, to the point where they could cast Richard Beymer…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Even more Armor-Plated Heart hits
I do these blog posts from time to time. They’re heartbreaking ballads and break-up songs, and I call them my “Armor-Plated Heart” songs. Songs that will bring your emotions to tears, and that none but those with armor-plated hearts will avoid crying all night. If you’ve had a rough Valentine’s Day weekend, these songs may…

Open-faced fried egg sandwiches are the best way to deal with -7° temperatures
I’ve blogged in the past about how my sainted Grandma Betty used to make the tastiest fried eggs for breakfast. They were delicious and nobody could ever make a better fried egg. But over the past few days, I’ve taken my memories of her fried eggs and turned them into a tasty open-faced breakfast treat…
Read MoreThe Last Apple
November 2012. It came into my possession, after my previous car, a 2005 Saturn Ion, developed scary electrical failures. And over the past two-plus years, I’ve taken care of this car to the best of my abilities. I’ve replaced the original performance Linglong tires with four all-weather Pirellis – then replaced two of the Pirellis…

Caption Time: Do they really make better lovers?
So last Thursday, I saw some people setting up an air mattress and some blankets and pillows at the sidewalk intersection of State and Pearl Streets. And sure enough, a few minutes later, they were having a “bed-in” to support their organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I’m not going to comment. All…
