It’s Monday morning, and I’m getting on the highway as early as possible. 6 in the morning is as good a time as any to get on the highway, don’tcha think? I have to pick up my six photos from the New York State Fair. Since none of my entries were accepted for display this…
Read MoreI need your help today…
No, I’m not looking to dump ice water on my head. Already took care of that, I donated money to the ALS of New York and yesterday they sent me a Lou Gehrig bobblehead doll. Nice. No, I’m not looking for a financial donation or anything like that. The Blackbird is running quite well, I’m…

If you read today’s headline, you could be scratching your noggin and thinking, “What the hell is Chuck putting together for a playlist today?” Of course, there are some of you will see those words and immediately say, “Oh man, he’s going to do a K-Chuck Radio blog post on the Sweet!” And you would…

A few months ago, there was a cable / internet outage in the Town and Village. After several calls, Time Warner Cable finally explained that they were working on the outage and should have service restored momentarily. Well, they eventually DID restore service.

Read MoreI don’t need the “ice bucket challenge.”
At some point in time, I know they’re coming for me. One of my friends will undoubtedly pour a bucket of ice water all over himself or herself – videotaping it for posterity, mind you – and then, in the video, he will challenge me to do the same. You know what? I’ve got a…

Six little white postcards from Syracuse…
I’ve checked the mailbox for days. Hoping they will arrive. Every time Mike the Mailman visits my street in the Town and Village, I’ve checked my mailbox to see if he dropped them in my mailbox. Yes. I am waiting for six little white postcards from Syracuse. Today, they arrived. Six little white postcards, each…
