Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
Last Sunday, I tried to stop at a bakery we used to like. It’s no longer open. That was sad. I was able to find something at another store (which made me happy), but before heading off to that store, I snapped a few pictures of some other sad doors. The explanations are mostly in...

Last week, John Holton posted a Just Jot January entry titled: “Everything Stops For T-Accounts.” I started to leave a lengthy comment, but it was going to be one of those I-shoulda-wrote-a-blog-post comments, so I told him I’d be back. John probably debited ‘inspiration’ and credited ‘comment’ or perhaps the other way round. You see,... Continue Reading →
Almost every geeky computer guy and gal who’s over the age of 50-something, knows the expression: “Everything is deeply intertwingled.” Depending on which computer guy/gal you talk to, you will get a different answer as to who to attribute that quote to. I learned of this quote in a class on “Structured Design” taught by... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Stream of Consciousness Saturday, when we visit the bar, have some conversation and try to score some bonus points. Linda G. Hill has given us a head-scratcher today: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘ad/add/AD (Anno Domini).’ Use one, use ’em all–bonus points if you fit them all into...

I knew last week that this week would likely be another collection of “drive-by” doors. The temperature, the snow, the lack of daylight, i.e. winter just works that way. I probably have a bunch of doors in various folders, but file storage is experiencing a bit of a challenge of its own here at No... Continue Reading →
Monday was cold – we enjoyed a high of 5°f (-15°c) which lasted for about 8 minutes before dropping back to 4 and then heading south of the zero. Tuesday started out above zero, but not by much. Maddie was having a difficult time conducting “business” in the yard. Sunday’s storm ended by depositing a... Continue Reading →
I don't normally post on Tuesdays, but today is special. Last week, I tried adding 'Curious' as a upcoming prompt for Linda Hill's Just Jot January series. Linda pointed out that she already had 'curiosity' and could not accept my suggestion. That set off a small chain-reaction which will become clear on Monday, when I... Continue Reading →
If you follow this site through week after week of One-liner Wednesdays, Thursday Doors and Stream of Consciousness Saturdays, you might find it confusing when I say that I don’t normally respond to blogging prompts. “Um, Dan, 75% of your posts are in response to a blogging prompt.” You might say. To which I would... Continue Reading →
