Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It would be hard for me to write a better post for Memorial Day than the one I wrote in 2017 after visiting Arlington National Cemetery. Many of you read that story. Your comments made the post so much better than I could do on my own. If you haven’t read that post, or if... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, we’re back in the bar, dealing with a challenging prompt from Linda G. Hill: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘rhymes with rosy.’ Find a word that rhymes with ‘rosy’ or use the word ‘rosy’ and base your post on it. Enjoy!” I know Linda said “word” but I’m going... Continue Reading →
On Sunday, I participated in a the All Seasons blogfest. Joining that blogfest and posting on a Sunday are rare events for me, and to make it even more special, I wrote and published the post using Guttenberg – the new WordPress editor. After my recent post about luddites, I should be shy about telling... Continue Reading →
I know I’ve shared the song at the end of this post before, but, as the title indicates, it’s a favorite of mine. Many years ago, my best friend introduced me to the Allman Brothers.

Several years ago, I wrote a marketing rant in which I admitted to having had fallen for the old 3-days only sale approach.

He gave me what I think will be my one-liner for Wednesday (unless something better comes along), and we laughed and marveled... Continue Reading →
Back in October, when I was writing an SoCS post, I made a minor edit. Not the kind Linda would have chastised me for, just one of those, “oops, shouldn’t say that” moments. I was going to refer to a bowl of empty mussel shells as “dead soldiers.” According to one source – no not... Continue Reading →
If you follow this site through week after week of One-liner Wednesdays, Thursday Doors and Stream of Consciousness Saturdays, you might find it confusing when I say that I don’t normally respond to blogging prompts. “Um, Dan, 75% of your posts are in response to a blogging prompt.” You might say. To which I would... Continue Reading →
This post is a public service from No Facilities for our non-geek readers. You might be unaware of the fact that last week, the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) was held in Las Vegas. CES is the annual opportunity for manufacturers to showcase the latest and allegedly greatest output from their backroom boys. Some of this... Continue Reading →
