Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It’s Saturday, and despite government crackdowns, isolation protocols are not yet being enforced at the No Facilities bar. Perhaps because there are, well, no actual facilities (pun intended). We’ve gathered here to celebrate Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. This week, she’s given us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is... Continue Reading →
When Connecticut joined New York and Massachusetts on Sunday in closing bars and restaurants, I thought about the bars I’ve been to, and the bartenders whose company I’ve enjoyed. I’ve always been one to sit at the bar and dine at the bar when traveling. Most of my encounters with bartenders have been positive. That’s... Continue Reading →
If you participate in Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt, you may go through the week identifying candidates. I collected quite a few this week. There were several at the dentist’s office while I was getting my teeth cleaned. The dentist will be closed beginning tomorrow for 2-3 weeks. There was one during the Facebook... Continue Reading →

Last week, when I was being cynical, Jennie left a comment in which she suggested that the erosion of news began with the CBS show “60 Minutes.” I told her that she reminded me of a story about that show, and she encouraged me to share it. Note: I’m not blaming Jennie if you don’t... Continue Reading →
It’s time for Linda G. Hill’s fantastic Friday challenge, and the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I have a lot on my mind, so I’m going to carry the prompt to the bar and get started: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘figure.’ Use the word ‘figure’ any way you’d like. Have... Continue Reading →
