Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It’s the umpteenth Saturday without a real bar to go to, but Cheryl keeps sneaking us into this place. That’s important. We have things to discuss and we need to do our part to inch the economy forward. Oh, and we need to try to wrap our heads around Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness... Continue Reading →
Last week, Connecticut took its first step toward reopening. This phase allows for more extensive travel – within our state, I’m not sure about driving into Massachusetts – in order to go about our business. Prior to entering this phase, while free to move around, the implication was that, if you were driving, you were... Continue Reading →
Normally, my One-Liner Wednesday post would have been posted about an hour ago. I had one ready, but, on second thought, I decided it wasn’t a good fit for the times. “I wrote, I formatted, I uploaded, I scheduled…I deleted.” This post is part of Linda G.

I have some door photos in reserve, but I’ve trying to obtain new ones. Today’s doors, as you might have already guessed are ones that... Continue Reading →

We’ve had days above 70°f (21°c) and the days are nice and long. On the other hand, within the past 10 days, we had snow and hail. We have also had some very cold... Continue Reading →
I’m wrapping-up a busy few days, so I’m going to touch a lot of bases lightly. Pardon the baseball reference, but the MLB Network replayed Game-7 of the 1979 World Series today. That’s the last time the Pittsburgh Pirates won a World Series. Feast or Famine – During the nine, ten or however many weeks... Continue Reading →
I want to be at the real bar later today, but that’s not going to happen. So, we gather virtually and commiserate over and about our wants as we attempt to deal with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘want.’ Make the word ‘want’... Continue Reading →
