And all of a sudden, my life has changed again. All the plans I had for today and tomorrow and next week and next month are all in flux. My very existence is called into question. Forgive me for being melodramatic or the like. I’ll have more info as things progress, but for now just…
Read MoreSkip a YouTube ad, catch some malware?
Yesterday, I was zipping around YouTube, looking for some clips for an upcoming K-Chuck Radio blog entry. One of the tracks I wanted to include was an upcoming collaboration between Pentatonix and Manhattan Transfer on a version of “White Christmas” from Pentatonix’ upcoming album. Oh, here it is, right here on YouTube. Let me just…

Read MoreWeek 5 of the 2016 Graney’s Stout Fall Trivia League
I should not be here tonight. My leg still feels like someone injected me with a can of Fix-A-Flat. Yet while I’m aching, I have to gtet back to some semblance of normalcy.

Who wants some eyebleach?
So I’ve had a rough couple of days, which culminated yesterday in a hospital visit. Thankfully, I received some medicine to get better, but still… it’s been rough.

Bachelor Breakfast: Whip it out and bang it on the counter!
Last week, while traveling through Greene County for some last-minute fall foliage photos, I saw this little local meat market / butcherie. Now if you know me, you know that I am a sucker for regional products. One right turn and a quick parking job later, I was in the meat market, looking at the…
