Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I knew last week that this week would likely be another collection of “drive-by” doors. The temperature, the snow, the lack of daylight, i.e. winter just works that way. I probably have a bunch of doors in various folders, but file storage is experiencing a bit of a challenge of its own here at No... Continue Reading →
Between illness and weather, 2019 still hasn’t brought forth a doorscursion opportunity, or so I thought. Then I realized that there are everyday doors that I pass every day, along with some somewhat-special doors I don’t normally have the chance to photograph. For instance, there were some beautiful doors on a building on the Big-E... Continue Reading →
Can I start this year over? Seriously, can we just take the past six days and pretend they didn’t happen. If not, then how about the past 4 ½ days (the ones I spent mostly in bed)? Can I have a second bite at that part of the apple of 2019? Right now (Sunday morning),... Continue Reading →
I mentioned last week that our daughter Faith and I had toured the Mark Twain House in nearby Hartford, CT. I think I said something about an event, but I know I didn’t explain what that event was. It was an opportunity to write for three hours in the library of the Mark Twain House.... Continue Reading →

The music Faith picked for the drive was a collection of songs that were featured in the movie “The Blues Brothers.” Notice, I didn’t say the sound... Continue Reading →
It’s Thursday, right? I mean, it’s a Normal Thursday, right? Norm is back, the gang’s all here and it’s time to share some doors. Phew. The break felt good, but I’ve been itching to share these doors. These are from the Connecticut Old State House, and I took them the week before the break. They... Continue Reading →
Doesn’t the name sound cool? Are you thinking “I wonder if he’s talking about gunpowder?” If you are, you came to the right place. Unfortunately, you’re about 100 years too late. Back in the 19th century, Col. Augustus Hazard owned a gunpowder company in the area of Enfield, Connecticut known as Hazardville. It the name... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, you would be bringing some local news to the bar. “Have you ever been to Old Newgate Prison?” “Not exactly.” “It’s a binary question – you either have or you haven’t.” “We set out once to hike to the prison, but we never made it. It’s a long story.”... Continue Reading →
