The Cloisters – #ThursdayDoors

This Thursday Doors post is challenging, for two reasons. First. The Cloisters, a recreation of a 13th, 14th and 15th century monastery, is full of wonderful doors. If you find that sentence curious, it’s because The Cloisters was built by John D. Rockefeller from the remnants of at least five European monasteries and stones quarried... Continue Reading →

Let’s Go Home Maddie – #1LinerWeds

On Sunday, my walk with Maddie did – not – go – well. As soon as we got to the end of our driveway, I spied them. Two women and two little girls walking on Maddie’s street. I knew this was going to be a problem, but I didn’t think they would be walking very... Continue Reading →

No Power, No Pics, No Pens

I mentioned last week that our daughter Faith and I had toured the Mark Twain House in nearby Hartford, CT. I think I said something about an event, but I know I didn’t explain what that event was. It was an opportunity to write for three hours in the library of the Mark Twain House.... Continue Reading →

That New York Walk – Thursday Doors

When I described the “first last” meeting I attended in New York, I briefly mentioned attending a technology event at The Javits Center. I love that building, and since my train usually arrives in New York well before the show opens, there is always time to drop my bags at the hotel and walk to... Continue Reading →

One Liner Twofer – #1LinerWeds

Today’s one liners both have a “Best Read By” date of 12/5/2018. One because the story ties in with Monday’s post and one because we’re coming to the end of college football season. Since I know some of you are not sports fans, I’ll keep the latter one short. Yes, I understand that the whole... Continue Reading →

When Good Times Collide

Mondays are the hardest days for me and this blog. I like posting on Monday, because it avoids having too many posts in a row. Also, since I usually have abundant free time on Friday and Saturday nights (that’s the way I like it, by the way) I have plenty of time to research and... Continue Reading →

Bar Folk, not People – #SoCS

Hill has set the tone and directed the course of our writing with her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘ma.’ Use it as a word or find a word with 'ma' in...

Respect the Ride – #WATWB

Recently, there has been a couple recent announcements regarding Lime Bikes in the city of Hartford. Yes, I’ve written about Lime Bikes before for this blogfest, but these announcements have caused me to want to return. You see, not all the news about Lime Bikes has been good news. The bikes proved to be more... Continue Reading →
