Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I had to visit an office at 960 Main Street in Hartford. Anyone who lived near this city prior to this century knows that address – it’s the G Fox building. G. Fox & Co. was the largest privately held department store in the United States in 1965, when it was sold to the May... Continue Reading →
I didn’t really expect to find many doors while hiking through Massachusetts. Then again, I forgot we were hiking along a rail trail. Faith is used to me stopping to snap a picture. She never seems to mind, but stopping on Sunday meant we could take a drink of water. We stopped a lot, doors... Continue Reading →
Today is Independence Day in the United States. Since it falls on a Thursday, my employer closed for the weekend as of yesterday at noon. Long weekend here we come! In honor of this day, I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the remaining doors from Concord, Massachusetts – where our battle... Continue Reading →
I know I’ve shared doors from Old Sturbridge Village before, some night shots from our Christmas tradition and some photos of the gingerbread houses, but I can’t resist sharing some pictures from our visit there on Father’s Day. I’m pretty sure I have several that I have not shared before. If you want to scroll... Continue Reading →
Sunday was Father’s Day, and our daughter Faith took me to breakfast and then to Old Sturbridge Village. OSV was having a Father’s Day event – Baseball, Beer and BBQ – which seemed interesting.

Aside from their relation to my inability to follow directions, and the fact that their residents fought against slavery in America, these two homes have nothing to do with each other. I stumbled across them, on different days, while visiting Concord, so I thought I’d focus on them today, as I wind my way through... Continue Reading →
A funny thing happened on my way to talking about WordPress technical support – I told a story about a mortgage company I worked at while I was a consultant. A couple of weeks ago, I told you about how a crude flow diagram helped me “figure out” where the problems were – hint, they... Continue Reading →
Last week, after my business in Minneapolis was concluded, my brother and I hung around for another day in the city. On Friday, we visited the Mill City Museum. I’ve written about the building that houses this museum. I was in the building, but for a business meeting, not a tour. I mentioned in the... Continue Reading →
In my recent business trips to Burlington, Massachusetts, I have explored the nearby towns of Lexington and Concord. Just saying “Lexington and Concord” causes most Americans to immediately think of our Revolutionary War where we fought for independence from the British. That war began within the geography of these two towns. I have been through... Continue Reading →
