Chuck's Picasa Web AlbumsI've uploaded tons of pictures to my new favorite on-line photo album site offered by Google. Some of the albums you'll find are from the Bark Park, Surfing, most of our Summer 2005 vacation and my trip to Boston's famous Fenway Park to see a Red Sox game. Check them out at http://picasaweb.google.com/chuckorama.

I'm sad to report that we lost our little kitten Pixie awhile ago, but Bilbo is over three years old now and he's the best dog ever! Click on Scooby-doo to see pictures of the newest members of our little nuclear family during their first year. |

My 40th year was a fantastic year for vacations! Evidently you are allowed to celebrate all year instead of just one day, so I planned and prepared to make the most of it. In the summer of 2005 we continued my 40th year celebration with a whirlwind worldwide spectacular vacation extravaganza! 5 weeks of constant fun and travel! We went on a river rafting trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho (thanks Mark!), then flew to Ireland and stayed with our friends the Milners for 6 days of rest and relaxation, then on to Berlin, Germany to visit Jennifer's sister Janetta, then to London for a few days, then back to Davenport, Iowa for the International Jugglers Festival! I've started uploading pictures to my Picasa web photo album site if you want to check them out. They're listed under "2005 Summer Vacation" titles. |

Jennifer and I have celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary, and we still find ourselves reminiscing about how great our wedding was! We celebrated our Two Year Anniversary at Disney World, and were also there for Christmas, New Year's, and a belated honeymoon. It was a great vacation! Here are links to our stupendous Disney World honeymoon page and our blockbuster wedding extravaganza. |

Scott and John's Excellent Adventure!My friends Scott and John have finished their fantastic voyage in Scott's new boat "Slow Burn" down the Intra-Coastal Waterway(ICW). For those of you who don't know, the ICW is a complex, barely navigable and often trecherous network of natural inlets, salt-water rivers, bays, sounds, and man-made canals, stretching from Maine to the southern tip of Florida. They made the 1300 mile journey from the Chesapeake Bay to Fort Lauderdale without a trained captain, and with only the most rudimentary of navigational aids (an iPhone). Check out their site at www.icwcam.com to read a blog of thier daily adventures.

Ready for more excitement? We bought a house! We closed on October 6th, 2003 and we're finally all moved in. Rennovation began shortly thereafter, and seems to be never-ending. The newest pictures were from Thanksgiving 2007 after the new flooring was finally installed downstairs, e-mail me for a link. |

Fun & Games!Here's the new time-wasting section of the site (not like the rest of this web site...)! Fun and Games! The Fun page has tons of jokes and links to funny or entertaining web sites, and also useful web sites like the Internet Movie DataBase, or imdb.com. I realized how lame the old games page I had was when I stumbled across addictinggames.com, a monumental collection of time wasters of the highest caliber. I give it my full endorsement. Be sure and check out the classic putt-putt golf game while you're there, as well as my new favorite, Golphysics. |

My job is going well, I've been there over five years already! I started January 19, 2004 working for a company called CACI, Inc. as an ATM Controller/Network Operator out at Wheeler Army Airfield. We're in the process of upgrading the network worldwide, so I've gotten a lot of new training, which is nice. In January 2008 I started a new position 'upstairs' which took me off shift work for a regular Monday through Friday kind of schedule. I'm doing implementations, and I really like it. I get to work with Cisco and Juniper routers and finally put all my router training to use. I miss riding my motorcycle to work every day, but it rains too much up there and traffic is too heavy. However, in June/July 2008 we moved down to Ford Island next to Pearl Harbor, so I may be riding again! It's much closer and I'm actually saving a significant amount on gas. |

Here are some pictures from my famous Birthday vacation to Hawaii back in February 2000! This is where it all began. |

The famous PICTURES page is the place to go to see the long-lost pix of my grandparents, scary pictures of my hair, the amazing Super Chuckwagon Deluxe 'C' Class, the NEW Chuckwagon Millenium Edition, my motorcycle, and more! Also, here's the new on-line photo album repository I've started using: http://picasaweb.google.com/chuckorama. Lots of great new pictures there! |

My family is starting to get into the act of creating web sites. Click the dot to see my brother Trent's home page. He and his wife Jennifer (not to be confused with my wife Jennifer) live with Trent's youngest son Jordan in Colorado. For the record, Trent still holds the family record for the largest fish with his 26 lb. yellow catfish! UPDATE: Trent broke his own record in June 2007 when he came to visit us in Hawaii. See my Picasa photo albums page for pictures of his 30-pound Ono! |

I've done extensive work as a strolling juggler and stiltwalker. If you are interested in seeing some pictures of me working, click on the dot. I've added some pictures of some of my new costumes since I moved to Hawaii. I recently retired from stiltwalking but can still be hired for juggling gigs. |

Every Monday night the Philadelphia Jugglers Club meets at Lloyd Hall right behind the Philadelphia Art Museum from 7 to 9:45pm. Here in Hawaii, the Rainbow Jugglers also meet on Monday nights from 8 to 10 p.m. at the University of Hawaii. Click here to get to their home page. It's free and open to the public and lots of fun! |

One of the hardest things about moving to Hawaii was giving up my pet snakes. I had raised 2 of them from babies and they were about 7 years old when I sent them to a good home. Snakes are against the law in Hawaii. I still have to post some pictures of my first snake Eve. Click the dot to see pictures of my old roommates. |

Four of the five baby kittens that Larry and Stacey raised have all gone to good homes, and they have kept Dassett for themselves. Click the dot to see unbelievably cute pictures of the little ones before they flew the coup! |

 Click the sticker for the band that made me the King of All Roadies. I recently added a surprise for all the die-hard 'NOC fans, and just finished uploading some solid gold just in time for the holidays. |
ShovelhookRob and Frank from WNOC have finally united with their younger brother Chris from Liquid Gang to form a new band. The Fabulous Holt Brothers have added the magical Jonny 5 and another guitar player to form Shovelhook. Their CD Release Party was unbelievable, you gotta get their new CD. Check their web site for a couple of sample MP3s and their gig schedule. You can also hear a couple of their songs on their MySpace.com page. |
SONiA & disappear fearMy friend SONiA of the band 'disappear fear' made a dream of mine come true when she not only sang at my wedding dinner but invited me to sing with her. She makes beautiful, powerful music that speaks to your soul by revealing hers to you. She was recently selected for the Jeep Compass Uncharted Tour, and you can click HERE to see her Jeep promo video. It's pretty cool. SONiA also has her own MySpace.com page. |
Amy CarrAnother in my long list of talented friends, Amy Carr is a singer, songwriter, and musician you should definitely check out! Check her web site to see why Mapps Magazine called her '... an extremely gifted songwriter. Her voice carries a true sincerity which is difficult to find.' |
Bet WilliamsI've know her since she was 'Beth Williams', and she sings like an angel! She has the widest range of any singer I know, and she can inspire tears of sorrow and regret or joy and laughter. In her second project, called Epiphany Project, she joins with her husband pianist John Hodian to allow another side of her creativity to blossom. You have to hear it, it defies description (it's amazing). Check her MySpace.com page too. |
