It’s time once again for Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. We’re going to handle this the usual way, I’ll take this to the bar and try to work it into the conversation. Let’s see what she gave us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘oh.’ Use it as a... Continue Reading →
About 15 years ago, I switched from driving a pickup truck to an SUV. Still wanting the option to carry 4’x8’ sheet goods and the occasional pile of lumber, I purchased a utility trailer. Having a trailer isn’t a perfect solution, but it works fairly well. I bought a small SUV this summer, and... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, AIIM New England (the New England Chapter of AIIM International) held their kick-off event for the 2019-2020 educational year. For 10 years or so, we have been meeting at the large community table in the bar of the Burlington Marriott. It’s a comfortable place. They serve pretty good food, and the table is large...

Last week, the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), my... Continue Reading →

I have to be honest; I’ve never been in a hotel room with a walk-in closet – I have been in hotel rooms that were the size of some walk-in closets, but I digress.... Continue Reading →
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...

Let’s change this up a bit. I’m going to give you the one-liner, and then you are free to leave. Well, you’re always free to leave, but you know what I mean. If you want the longer-than-one-line story that this one-liner brought to mind, you’re equally free to continue reading. There’s another one-liner near the... Continue Reading →
