The headline you see is true. And it happened to me yesterday. Let me explain. Last week, I went to my optician, Dr. Gessoo, to check my eyeglass prescription and get a new pair of glasses. I went through the battery of tests – read the bottom line, does this look sharper one or two,…
Read MoreDid Time After Time throw a new time-travel wrinkle into their show?
I was really looking forward to the new ABC fantasy drama Time After Time, based on the 1979 motion picture about H.G. Wells chasing using a time machine to chase Jack the Ripper to modern times. And although I was kinda feeling the blahs about the show – I mean, the fact that Jack the…

Celebrations are in order. For the Hamilton College Continentals not only claimed their first NCAA Div III Men’s Hockey Tournament berth, last night they claimed their first win, with a decisive 3-1 triumph over SUNY-Oswego.

Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Smooth Lost Ballads of the 80’s
What’s a good term for these tracks? “Yacht Rock”? “Smooth Ballads”? “Easy Listening”? Here’s what I call them. “Completely forgotten.” Yep, it’s another edition of K-Chuck Radio, featuring the hits that were either regional smashes, international winners, or just had the miserable luck to hit the charts at the wrong time. And let’s start our…
Read MoreMy shoes may cost 1½ times more than your shoes…
Just wanted to give everybody an update on my mobility. I recently started moving away from the walking boot on my left leg, and am wearing my pre-surgery shoes more and more these days. In the next couple of weeks, I will be fitted with an orthotic for my left shoe, which should allow me…

Up and at ’em, rise and shine, time to make this day a better day than yesterday. Right? Yeah, you know I’m right. And with that in mind, the best way to start off the day after hump day, the day once known as “Friday Eve,” is to check over some great blog posts from…
Read MoreMy NCAA Tournament overall pick to win is … Hamilton College!!
When I was a student at Hamilton College – 1981-1985, to be specific – we did not have the ability to participate in NCAA postseason tournaments. Our conference at the time – the New England Small College Athletic Conference – prohibited teams from playing in tournaments that lasted one week past our final regular season…
Read MoreMy NCAA Tournament overall pick to win is… Kentucky Wesleyan!
In the past, I’ve avoided participating in the NCAA basketball tournament “bracket madness” game. Personally, I think the setup punishes mid-majors who have to participate in “play-in” games just to make the round of 64 – especially when the SWAC and the MEAC conference champions have to play against each other for the right to…

Return to the Troubled Bridge Over Water
Last year, I took my Nikon Df camera through the Adirondacks and captured some great photos. One of those photos, taken in Warrensburg along Route 9, was of a distressed wooden bridge that spanned a small stream. Now at the time, I thought the picture I took would be awesome for competition season. But after…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: More forgotten 70’s pop tracks
Every so often, I hear a rare classic pop song on my Sirius/XM satellite radio station. Usually it’s during a broadcast of American Top 40, which airs on the “70’s on 7” channel Saturdays at noon (with a rebroadcast Sunday at 9am). And it’s kinda cool to hear those rare tracks that only got as…
