Necktie or polo. Slacks or skirt. Left or right. And the choices we make have an overlying theme to them. Can I do it. Is it too…
Read More“We can recover your lost money, Mr. Miller…”
I do not appreciate attempts by telemarketers, scammers or fraudsters to separate me from my money. I don’t. Not in the least. And that includes the person calling from “Internal Revenue Service” with their satellite office in Bangalore, telling me I’m being sued for back taxes. He got dumbfounded when I simply repeated all his…

Buster’s showing off his Shofar
The shofar is one of the oldest musical instruments. It’s the horn that Joshua blew to knock down the walls at Jericho. And the most beautiful shofars in the world came from the heads of rams.

Raskolnikov’s Intersection, part 2
You may have heard that I’m trying something new with my Krasnogorsk FT-2 ultrawide camera “Raskolnikov.” I had previously tried to craft a “weave” by crossing two strips of 35mm film into an intersectional photograph.

The ownership of golden pins
Over the weekend, I began work on a new Dream Window project. No, I’m not going to reveal its concept to you right now. These projects take time. Trust me on this. As part of the project, I placed an eBay order for an item that contained various stickpins associated with the project’s concept. Yesterday,…
Read MoreGene Wilder, Richard Pryor and Northway Mall
The passing of Gene Wilder yesterday caught us in our heart and in our soul. One of the best actors of our generation, a man who could play comedy and tragedy and off-kilter characters, and switch from one genre to another with minimal effort, Gene Wilder was a true theater genius. And while most of…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The Vanda and Young Songbook
For those of you who realized that MTV gave up showing music videos years ago, and whose MTV Video Music Awards featured artists no one has ever heard (besides, MTV shows more episodes of Catfish than they do music videos anyway), I wanted to share something different with you. Today’s K-Chuck Radio blast features the songwriting…
