This is the final official Thursday Doors post of 2018, as Norm has decided to take next Thursday off. Norm suggested that we spend this final Thursday by revisiting our favorite doors from 2018. That’s easier said than done. I doubt that I have the most doors of any door nerd, but I posted over... Continue Reading →
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 →

Fortunately, I took a gazillion pictures when we were in Pittsburgh, and I still have some special ones to share. Some of the pictures... Continue Reading →
It’s been over a year since I uploaded a photo to Flickr. Prior to September 2017, I was a fairly regular contributor to that photo-sharing platform. 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...

A quick look at the forecast image below will tell most of my readers what I was planning for Wednesday and Thursday.
