Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Continuing our journey east from the Goshen Fair and up Rt-4 in search of doors, we have one more stop to make – Collinsville, Connecticut. I will probably offend a few people (at least one that I know of) as I quote from Wikipedia: “Collinsville is a village and census-designated place (CDP) in the town... Continue Reading →
If you follow this blog, you know that I don’t often stop anywhere near the one line that I have to offer. Today is different. But still, to keep the “Dan doesn’t understand the rules” streak going, I have a few one-liners that tell the story: “We made that trip.” “We were at that game.”... Continue Reading →
I’m not sure if this is a universal thing, or if it’s just my inbox that has been invaded by people who have no regard for my time. I’ve gotten used to survey requests after every leg of every flight and train ride. I’ve gotten used to Amazon and other online retailers pestering me to... Continue Reading →
Linda gave us an easy Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt today. I’m going to ignore the obvious track for a blog post for this one: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘post.’ Use it as a word, or find a word that uses it as a prefix.

Yesterday, I wore my Pittsburgh Pirates hoodie while talking Maddie for her morning walk. That was partly due to the fact that she wanted to walk early, but partly because the temperature was 52°f (11°c) – 52! We haven’t seen the low 50s since…I don’t remember. The calendar says summer has two more weeks, but... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, and that means that Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday meets the crew at No Facilities Bar & Grill. Linda has switched gears on us today, and she’s making my life difficult, because events dictate the subject of this post. What’s a boy to do? Play along as best I can, I... Continue Reading →
Well, not really, but our daughter suggested the title and since she was kind enough to drive me on a frenetic doorscurrsion, I thought I’d go with it. The music Faith picked for the drive was a collection of songs that were featured in the movie “The Blues Brothers.” Notice, I didn’t say the sound... Continue Reading →
