Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Once again, it’s time to gather at the bar and bend our conversation around Linda G. Hill’s fun and challenging Stream of Consciousness Saturdayprompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘wrap/rap.’ Use one, use both (for bonus points), use ’em any way you’d like. Enjoy!” Did she say bonus points? I hope... Continue Reading →
This is a Thursday Doors post (I didn’t think the hashtag would fit in the title without causing it to wrap). It’s also a riverboat post, and if that makes you think of “The Delta Pearl,” Teagan Geneviene’s current serial story, well, there is a connection. There’s also a connection to my youth. I’ll get...

Last week, I was attending a dinner with some coworkers and a few guests, in advance of an important meeting the next day. One of my coworkers identified as having a nut-allergy, so the waiter was careful to point out which items had nuts, which didn’t, and which could be ordered without them. The person...

This could have made for a good one-liner, but the backstory leads me to a subject that’s been kicking around in my draft folder for several months.

Once again, it’s time for Linda G.

To be clear, these are all new photos. They’re just new photos of barns, some of which you’ve no doubt seen before. Still, there’s a... Continue Reading →
I have been known to give the big-box hardware stores a rough ride here at No Facilities. I prefer my local hardware store, but there are some things they don’t carry. Last summer, the things they didn’t carry were two motion sensing outdoor floodlights. If you’re anywhere near my age, you remember a limited variety... Continue Reading →
Before I decided to take Sunday’s off from writing, I was working my way through the saga of a mortgage company in meltdown mode. Earlier posts are here, here and here. I was planning to share a few more comical stories, before heading to a two-part finale, but I think I’ll just wrap it up... Continue Reading →
The weekend is here and it’s time to visit Cheryl at the bar and work our way around Linda G. Hill’s famous Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘weigh/way/whey.’ Use one, use ’em all, bonus points if you do that last thing. Enjoy!” Let’s have some fun.... Continue Reading →
