Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
During the last week of June, I spent a few days in Baltimore, Maryland. I didn’t have a lot of time to explore, but I did have to walk to and from meetings and meals, and I was fortunate to walk past some very interesting doors. Many of the doors are the kind most door... Continue Reading →
As much as I see Baltimore as a rivalry city to my hometown of Pittsburgh, there is no denying the fact that Baltimore is one of America’s great railroad cities. Everybody who has ever played Monopoly has coveted the B&O Railroad, and with good reason. The Baltimore and Ohio was the first common carrier railroad... Continue Reading →
After yesterday’s story about the amazing social event in San Antonio, I thought I’d share a few more doors, including some that I captured on the way home from the event. You should know that I spent a serious amount of time in Lightroom cropping and straightening this group of photos. It was a bumpy... Continue Reading →

I’d like to blame the lighting, or the nearby motion, but the fact of the matter is, I was paying more attention to the trains than I... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow at noon, the company I work for will cut us loose for a three-day-weekend that unofficially marks the beginning of summer. Officially, it's Memorial Day weekend in the US, a weekend when we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. It might be more about picnics... Continue Reading →
Visiting St. Augustine, Florida involves flying into either Jacksonville or Daytona Beach, or connecting to a little airline flying scary little planes. I flew into Jacksonville, and I was kinda smug when I texted the temperature to my wife. It was 77°f (25°c) in Jacksonville but it was 92°f (33°c) in Connecticut – Ha! Well,... Continue Reading →
