Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I’m still sorting through doors from Concord, Massachusetts, but I found two buildings that are curiously linked, so I thought I’d feature them together today. Why would I use the word “curious?” Well, how often do you run into a church that owns a tavern? Note: most of what follows is paraphrased from an article... Continue Reading →
I have made the climb to “hump day” but I haven’t yet cleared the hump. It’s been an interesting mix, and you would think I would have collected a few one-liners. Let’s see where we can look. I took Monday afternoon off. I was hoping to wrap-up a minor spring chore that was rained out... Continue Reading →
I recently read an article titled: “What will the World of Work Look Like in 2035?” I had to laugh. Not because I’m going to retire later this year, but because of the arrogance in thinking that we can look ahead 16 years, imagine all the changes, and predict that future (even if they do...

It’s Saturday, we’re at the bar, wrestling with Linda G. Hill’s fun Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I have to admit that, although this was written in SoC fashion, there was thought and there has been editing. Still, the prompt is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘dough/d’oh.’ Use one, use both,... Continue Reading →
The article I am sharing today is from last fall, but I checked, and the facts remain, and the kindness appears to still be being shown. It’s the kind of story that probably happens in towns all over the world, but in this case, it landed a little closer to home. I was born into... Continue Reading →
Last month, that is to say, February (now that we’re on April’s doorstep) I shared some doors from the historic Battle Green (Commons) in Lexington, Ma. I mentioned that both Lexington and neighboring Concord lay claim to firing the first shot, winning the first battle, burying the first casualties in the Revolutionary War. I wasn’t...

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 →
It’s been a while since I wrote about the crazy drivers I encounter. I’ve been saving notes as I go, but I haven’t been in the mood to share any of those stories…until today. That’s because, in addition to two remarkably stupid drivers that I encountered recently, a third may have saved my life. OK,... Continue Reading →
I follow Jesh’s All Seasons blogfest, but I’ve never participated. Her topic this week – Made from Trees – is close to my heart, so I thought I’d cheat and enter the post I wrote about my current coffee table. Well, it seems I didn’t really write one. Oh, I wrote several posts where I... Continue Reading →
