02/21/2025: We got a puppy! His name is Fezzik, named after Andre the Giant's character in the movie The Princess Bride. He was born on August 1st, 2024, along with his 9 siblings. He is half poodle and half Australian Shepherd - an Aussieoodle! He is quite handsome and looks very exotic with his one and a half blue eyes!

We flew over to California the last weekend of September 2024, and drove to the breeder's house with my nephew and his wife and 4 y/o daughter. We picked up Fezzik and his sister Fantasy. The two puppies lived with my nephew for a few months while Fezzik got his shots so he wouldn't have to quarantine when he finally came to Hawaii. Almost 5 months later my nephew flew to Hawaii with Fezzik to bring him to his new home!

I will add a puppy page so you can see pictures of him and learn more about him and all of his antics.

11/23/2023: Happy Thanksgiving! I updated the site. Fixed some things that were bugging me and started adding in stuff I've been meaning to add, so you can waste more time here.

5/10/2023: We made our second trip to New Zealand in late March 2023 and had a great time. We saw real live kiwis dancing, we got to pet an ostrich and I ate an ostrich egg omelette, we walked through the lighted treetops of the Redwoods in Rotorua, went tubing through glow worm caves in Waitomo, saw waterfalls galore, played with Munchkin kittens (they have really short legs!), I went ziplining for the first time, we dug into the sand and almost scalded our feet (and butts) at Hot Water Beach, we rode electric mountain bikes through the forest, and ate wonderful exotic snacks and delicious food like deep fried lamb buns and passionfruit ice cream bars, and so much more. Our return flight got canceled so we had to stay an extra day. Ask me for a personal viewing of the 1,800+ photos I took!

5/14/2023: Holy cow, it's a miracle! Chuckorama!com has been updated for the first time since 5/7/2014! I haven't finished yet, and I'm sure you'll find some imperfections related to the update, but the loooooooooooooong overdue update has finally happened. You're welcome.

5/14/2023: In an effort to make this site slightly more dynamic, I added this news section to periodically add content. I'll put the newest bits at the top of this section and put dates on them so you know how old they are.
