Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
A couple weeks ago, Pam, over at Butterfly Sand – which, by the way for the longest time I read as “Butterflys And” and not paying attention to the spacing in the email, or the obvious improper plural form, I wondered “and what?” – wrote about being a Luddite Wanna Be. Hmmm, a 49-word opening... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, and in addition to Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday challenge, we have to deal with the fact that Cheryl is off today. If you’ve been to this bar before, you know what that means. As for the prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘soul/sole.’ Use one, use... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned last week, some of the doors I was able to photograph during my evening commute were visible only because the trees are bare. After responding to some comments about that side-benefit of winter, I realized two things: 1) despite the fact that I began this week behind a shovel, winter is coming... Continue Reading →
I know I’ve shared the song at the end of this post before, but, as the title indicates, it’s a favorite of mine. Many years ago, my best friend introduced me to the Allman Brothers. What can I say, he was right. “Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing, It don't... Continue Reading →
Several years ago, I wrote a marketing rant in which I admitted to having had fallen for the old 3-days only sale approach. I could write an entire post on marketing “techniques” I have fallen for over the years. It’s not my fault. I’m destined to make this mistake. I’m pretty sure if I sent... Continue Reading →

Almost four years ago, when I first joined the Thursday Doors crowd, I made the comment: “There aren’t many interesting doors on my daily commute.” It appears I was mistaken. In my defense, the circumstances were different. First, in 2015, about 90% of my commute was on an Interstate highway. That still holds for my... Continue Reading →
Maddie has us very well trained. Sometimes, she is particular about whether I need to take her out or the Editor has to take her. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter. Monday, it mattered. It had snowed overnight Sunday into Monday. I spend several hours clearing the driveway and sidewalk of 8"(20cm) of heavy wet snow before... Continue Reading →
We had a snow storm overnight. I’ll have to mention how much we got in a comment, later. As this is being posted by the WordPress overnight gremlins, I’ll either be getting ready to go to work, because it fizzled, or I’ll be finally testing that new headlamp on my snow blower, or, I’ll be...
