One of these days I might actually put together a radio show that features these off-brand recordings, but for now they’ll do nicely as a K-Chuck Radio blog post. Let me explain. There was once a time when a pop song or a rock song became a worldwide hit. The song was recognizable, it was…
Read MoreThe Nightmare Before Christmas on the Royale With Cheese Movie Club
For those new readers to my blog, the “Royale With Cheese Movie Club” was named due to my finally seeing Pulp Fiction about 20 years after everyone else saw it. Okay, so I was a bit late. But in doing so, I created a subsection on this blog of films that, if I mention the…
Read MoreRequiem for the Boreas Ponds
In 2016, I traveled to the Boreas Ponds, a secluded section of the Adirondacks, for what I hoped would be some incredible ultra-wide photos. The Boreas Ponds has a spot where you can see seven of the 46 “High Peaks” of the Adirondacks in one spot. But to get there, you have to travel over…

By the end of the day, their worst fears came true. A stranger entered their lives, armed with an AR-15 assault rifle, and started shooting at will. The…
Read More“The kick is up … and it’s … CLANG…”
NFL kickers have the deck stacked against them. They only enter the field of play when it’s necessary to kick an extra point, or to attempt a field goal. They kick the field goal, tap helmets with their teammates, and return to the sidelines. If they score a field goal or an extra point, they’re…
Read MoreThe I Love Lucy episode no one has ever seen.
I Love Lucy defined the television sitcom. Even today, the 1950’s TV show has been analyzed, studied, adored and revered for its fantastic writing, talented acting, and beloved comic moments. I mean, all I have to do is mention “Vitameatavegamin” or utter the phrase “chocolates on a conveyor belt,” and you can already remember those…
Read MoreMy Nikon Df needs surgery.
I purchased my first Nikon Df camera in 2013. It’s provided me with a decade of fantastic photographs. Everything from sweeping star trails to breathtaking Milky Way shots, from sports action images to reflective contemplation captures. This little shooter has garnered more awards than any of my other cameras, including “triple blue” images like Washington…
