Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
We’re celebrating the first full week of Phase-II of reopening here in Connecticut. Celebrating with a certain amount of trepidation, but the conditions seem favorable to sharing an adult beverage in the great indoors – at least this week. Of course, we’re going to let Linda G. Hill entertain us with her Stream of Consciousness... Continue Reading →
As I’ve mentioned in previous post, I visited two restaurants last week. I also mentioned the fact that I was a little nervous about entering those restaurants. I told The Editor that I wasn’t going to go in if the places were anything close to crowded. When I was seated at the bar, I took... Continue Reading →
If you were following this blog last summer, you might remember that I tried taking a bit of a break. The plan was that I would only share photos on Mondays. Of course, this is me, so words were involved. Still, Mondays from late June to early September are among my shortest posts. Ironically, they... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, the bar is almost ready to open, and Cheryl is giving us a preview of how things are going to be. She’s been sneaking us in for 13 weeks, so one more week on the sly won’t matter. While we’re here, we will wrestle with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt:... Continue Reading →
Surprise surprise, there’s a backstory to today’s post. Almost twenty years ago, I was accepted to present a paper at a somewhat significant technical conference. I won’t bore you with the details.

We are hoping to catch up on our activity for the week while enjoying an adult beverage and testing our wits with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your... Continue Reading →
My regular readers are a savvy group. Yes, spellcheck, I know, two ‘Vs’ in savvy, not two ‘As’ – still, I should get partial credit for remembering that it had two of something. In any case, No Facilities isn’t the place to come to catch up on the pandemic, the protests, forest fires, plane crashes... Continue Reading →
This is an unusual One-Liner Wednesday for me, in that I don’t think a backstory is necessary (however, staying in character, there’s a bit of an after-story). My one-liner for this week is in the photo below. Maddie and I discovered this little watering hole on our walk. If you take a look at the... Continue Reading →
Last week, Connecticut took its first step toward reopening. This phase allows for more extensive travel – within our state, I’m not sure about driving into Massachusetts – in order to go about our business. Prior to entering this phase, while free to move around, the implication was that, if you were driving, you were... Continue Reading →
