Those of you who follow my blog know that I have a solid core of friends who are part of my Street Academy trivia team. They include my best bud Jeremy McNamara – who has been part of my team for longer than any other teammate I’ve ever had – as well as his friend…
Read More“School of Thrones” – prom night is coming…
Okay, only a few weeks to go before we see the debut of the third season of the HBO series Game of Thrones. Everybody psyched? Yeah, me too. Which is why I got a kick out of this. Someone created a webseries in which the entire Game of Thrones universe is condensed into a high…

Although I consider the Pittsburgh Steelers’ “Immaculate Reception” the greatest touchdown in team history, I will defend to my dying day that the greatest touchdown ever scored in the Steelers’ Super Bowl history came in Super Bowl XLIII. See, that was the day when the Arizona Cardinals, led by future NFL Hall of Famer Kurt…

I haven’t been able to announce the full details of this just yet – most of what has happened has involved “behind the scenes” negotiations and the like – but today, I definitely want to share some of the good news with all of you. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Kelly Grimaldi,…

The other day, I brought some Chinese takeout food over to my girlfriend Nicole’s place. It was the usual fare for a Chinese restaurant – entrees, egg rolls, and some fortune cookies.

Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Will love keep us together?
It’s a great pop song from the 1970’s, and it launched the career of one of the most popular pop duos of that era. That’s right, it’s The Captain and Tennille, with their breakthrough hit of 1975, “Love Will Keep Us Together.” Great song. Have a listen. But the song itself was originally written by…

In terms of appreciation for my ’06 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, I’ve been doing something with it that I haven’t done that often with my previous two cars, the ’91 Pontiac 6000 or the ’05 Saturn Ion. I’ve taken it to the car wash more often than I have with with the “6” or with Cardachrome.…
