Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
My one-liner (the sign) was taken during a different winter and would normally be an appropriate warning at this time of year. As the temperature begins to rise in March, the snow along the upper 350 miles (563 km) of the Connecticut River would start melting and the river would rise. Great River Park (the...

After a two days of clearing snow, this weekend snuck up on me. Oh well, I made it to the bar, and David and I are facing our nemesis as we try to deal with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘key.’ Use it... Continue Reading →
It’s time to take Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt to the bar, but Linda has made this particularly hard for me (just ask The Editor). “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘silent/silence.’ Use one or both in your post. Have fun!” Silence is not my strong suit. Still, let’s... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the bar at No Facilities. We’ve gathered the usual suspects, and Linda G. Hill has challenged us to speak of heavenly things…well: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘fall from the sky.’ Write about anything that falls from the sky–real, imagined, or idiomatic. Have fun!” If we were having a... Continue Reading →

We had received a small amount of snow overnight. Such an insignificant amount of snow wouldn’t normally... Continue Reading →
The challenge has been presented, and there are bonus points at stake. Linda G. Hill has set the tone and directed the course of our writing with her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘ma.’ Use it as a word or find a word with 'ma' in...

Yesterday, I wore my Pittsburgh Pirates hoodie while talking Maddie for her morning walk. That was partly due to the fact that she wanted to walk early, but partly because the temperature was 52°f (11°c) – 52! We haven’t seen the low 50s since…I don’t remember. The calendar says summer has two more weeks, but... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, and that means that Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday meets the crew at No Facilities Bar & Grill. Linda has switched gears on us today, and she’s making my life difficult, because events dictate the subject of this post. What’s a boy to do? Play along as best I can, I... Continue Reading →
