Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Perhaps that should include “Part-II” since I think I’ve posted doors from Burlington, MA before, but who’s counting? The meetings I attended the week I captured the Lexington doors were held in the Burlington Marriott. The rationale for that, in case you’re interested, is that they give us the easiest option to handle price. We... Continue Reading →
Doesn’t that sound nice? I started thinking about this last week while attending our company’s Annual Meeting in Florida. No, not the beach, not a walk along the Gulf shore. Rather, a terrace outside a series of meeting rooms where several companies were having breakfast. I saw the sign below and thought: “we need more... Continue Reading →
Back in October, when I was writing an SoCS post, I made a minor edit. Not the kind Linda would have chastised me for, just one of those, “oops, shouldn’t say that” moments. I was going to refer to a bowl of empty mussel shells as “dead soldiers.” According to one source – no not... Continue Reading →
It’s time to visit the bar in conjunction with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Today, Linda is offering bonus points: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘ends with -ly.’ Start your post with any adverb that ends in ‘-ly.’ Bonus points if you end with an adverb too.

No, it’s not the opening line of a joke. Or, if it is, the joke is in poor taste, and the person telling it will find himself asking, “too soon?” About a month ago, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a Tesla Model-S self-driving car ran over and “killed” a robot that was...

February is upon us. JusJoJan is over, but the roller-coaster-weather-ride is still running in New England. It’s time for our Stream of Consciousness Saturday visit to the bar, where Linda G. Hill has given us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘affirm.’ Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!” If we were... Continue Reading →
Broken and bent, that’s what I always say. Actually, I tend to say: “…rules are rules. Until you can change them, follow them.” But, that’s the boring day-to-day me talking, not the rule-breaking-damn-the-torpedoes me who wishes he did radical things. So, what rules(s) am I breaking and bending? Well, I’m either breaking the “I don’t... Continue Reading →
