Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
The challenge has been presented, and there are bonus points at stake. Linda G. 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...

No, not for Christmas, for leftovers. Following a short holiday week here in the US, I was greeted by the week that marks the end of our company’s fiscal year. A week spent weaving in and out of budgets and trying to finish that which should be paid for in 2018. Suffice it to say,... Continue Reading →

I had, and I still have i.e. I still pay for, a Pro account, but it’s been quiet at my place. That may be changing, but I’m not sure... Continue Reading →
No, I didn’t mean skip the post, that’s the…well, you’ll see (I hope). I generally start these posts with an idea of a subject. Linda says we shouldn’t do much in the way of planning (I’ve been training my entire life for this role). Anyway, Linda gave us an interesting challenge for Stream of Consciousness...

“Ugh, I forgot my phone!” Yep, that happened to me on Monday. I wasn’t very far into my morning commute, but I was on the highway, and the next exit would be a 20-minute round-trip to home and back. In addition to that, taking 20 minutes to get back to that point would mean an... Continue Reading →
