Welcome to Chuck's Corner

Happy New Year!

12/31/2009 Final Update...

The lights are OFF for the season. They will be back on December 1st, 2010.

$2,846 (and change) was collected for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I'll round that up to $2850 when I send it to them next week.

Thank you!

If you are one of the many people that wrote a check, please note that I will mail your check along with the rest of the proceeds next week.  Don't worry - it didn't get lost or anything.

12/14/2009 Update...

Over $850 has been collected for St. Jude. Here are some photos of the display.

12/13/2009 Update...

Almost 500 people got free candy canes Friday and Saturday nights. I obviously didn't order enough. Over $570 has been collected for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital so far. Thank you! 

 

The SDA Church came by with three pickup trucks full of kids. Oh, they had trailers full of kids as well (above.)

 

12/12/2009 Update...

So far, over $382 has been collected for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Thank you for your support! 

 

12/2/2009 It's Always Something...

There was some excitement here today...The big mega-tree collapsed this morning. Fortunately, nothing was broken and it's back up and running. Pay no attention to the duck tape and zip ties.  Hopefully it will last another 4 weeks.

5/19/2009 New Lousy Column posted!

I posted my most recent attempt to amuse myself here.

3/28/2009 New Feature!

I recently bought a bunch of Christmas decorations from Craig's List. There were some really nice items which I'm keeping, some other really nice

items which I have already sold, a few "not too terrible" items that I gave away and then there was THIS thing:

The ugliest Christmas decoration in the world.

While my first impression was to blast it with the potato cannon, I decided that it might be more amusing to do this.

 

1/4/2009 Christmas Light Show Details

I'm moving things around here so a lot of links will probably not work for a while.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks to all of you that donated for St. Jude's! The total amount collected was $1,690 and change. I rounded it up to $1,700 and will be sending the proceeds to them tomorrow.

My lights freakin' rule.

12/28/2007 2007 Videos Online!

It's possible that I've added video of all of the 2007 sequences over on the Christmas Lights page but it's PROBABLE that there's only one or two. Only one way to find out...

 

I've changed the Christmas Lights page to provide show information and other links. I also added some pics of the display.
