Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
As I was walking around Concord, Massachusetts last month, I did what most Thursday Doors participants do, I took pictures of doors. Every door I noticed. I figured that, as has often been the case, I would be able to fill in the blanks later. I already knew that my favorite source for history and... Continue Reading →
I’m still sorting through doors from Concord, Massachusetts, but I found two buildings that are curiously linked, so I thought I’d feature them together today. Why would I use the word “curious?” Well, how often do you run into a church that owns a tavern? Note: most of what follows is paraphrased from an article... Continue Reading →
I recently read an article titled: “What will the World of Work Look Like in 2035?” I had to laugh. Not because I’m going to retire later this year, but because of the arrogance in thinking that we can look ahead 16 years, imagine all the changes, and predict that future (even if they do...

Last month, that is to say, February (now that we’re on April’s doorstep) I shared some doors from the historic Battle Green (Commons) in Lexington, Ma. I mentioned that both Lexington and neighboring Concord lay claim to firing the first shot, winning the first battle, burying the first casualties in the Revolutionary War. I wasn’t...

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 →
For the past two weeks, I’ve been sharing doors from the towns of Lexington and Burlington, Massachusetts. As you might expect, I took pictures of more doors than I shared. Accordingly, I have some leftovers to share today. The door I chose to feature is the West School in Burlington. Originally one of four one-room... Continue Reading →
If you recall, we left the bar last week with a curious “to be continued…” notice. Well, it’s Friday and time to see if Linda G. Hill is going to give us a Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt that will let me proceed with that story. Here we go: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of... Continue Reading →
Perhaps that should include “Part-II” since I think I’ve posted doors from Burlington, MA before, but who’s counting? The meetings I attended the week I captured the Lexington doors were held in the Burlington Marriott. The rationale for that, in case you’re interested, is that they give us the easiest option to handle price. We... Continue Reading →
You really can’t get much more central to this country’s (US) becoming a free nation than the Common in Lexington, Massachusetts. Claimed to be the "birthplace of American liberty," Lexington shares in the legend of firing the first shot, tallying the first wounded, winning the first battle and so on and so forth with the...
