Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Or perhaps that’s good-bye sunshine… If you’ve been following No Facilities for a year or more, you know that I am no fan of Daylight Saving Time. Don’t get me wrong, I love longer days and I love sunshine and I am one of the two people responsible for that crazy redhead, Maddie who loves... Continue Reading →
In anticipation of a very busy weekend, I planned to share some pictures today. I took these on one of the few sunny walks I’ve had with Maddie this year. When I was trying to decide which ones to upload, I noticed that I had a series, of sorts, of four different subjects. The title... Continue Reading →
So far, 2017 weather has been cold, colder, colder-still, warm, cold, warmer. This weekend was warm enough to change the yard from snow to mud and for Maddie to be able to sit without her vest on. So, that’s what we did. We also went for the first walk of 2018. And we, well I... Continue Reading →
I lived in New York City (Queens) for a little over a year, beginning in 1977. I’ve been back too many times to count, both for business and pleasure, and one thing remains true: “if you think it would make a good photo, push the button.” You might end up with a “what was he... Continue Reading →

Don’t worry, I saw the support for my bar-buddy’s request, I’m not going to bore you with a scrap-by-scrap dumpster-filling post. The title says it all. I will say that there is something special about having a dumpster in your driveway. And, in the interest of transparency, I need to give the editor some most... Continue Reading →
The company I work for has a fiscal year that ends on November 30. That means we have to use the requisite number of vacation days, prior to this Thursday, or we lose them. I have never lost a vacation day. I have one day left, so I decided to take today off, and I... Continue Reading →
