Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
Since last week’s Thursday Doors post went live, I have spent five days on our little construction project and two hectic days at my day-job. I did manage to squeeze in a short doorscursion, but it turns out the doors I photographed are more interesting than I realized. Writing that up has required a little... Continue Reading →
Specifically, Los Chivos de Hartford Dia Roberto Clemente. Or, if you prefer the plain old English version, The Hartford Yard Goats Roberto Clemente Day! Faith and I attended this game Friday night. I wrote about the Yardgoats honoring Roberto Clemente, last year for #WATWB. I suppose I could have reprised that subject for Friday’s #WATWB... Continue Reading →
Four years ago, I wrote about replacing my camera because of a curved smudge appearing on almost all my photos. I had it cleaned, the smudge returned, and I replaced the camera. Less than a year later, I replaced the replacement camera because I mistakenly thought that buying the same make and model camera would... Continue Reading →
The title is how I wanted to start my reply to this week’s One-liner Wednesday. As you will see in a minute, I was nice. This story begins last Wednesday, on a day that I had been looking forward to for over a month. The company I work for held an employee outing at Dunkin... Continue Reading →

My first story is inspired by a bit of blame-the-victim journalism – that seems to work for other of society’s ills, so why not driving – that hits... Continue Reading →
I had been planning to share the first part of this story for months. Actually, I’ve been planning to share it since before WATWB was a thing. It was about 10 years ago when the various government agencies started planning to add light-rail service between New Haven, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts. At first, we thought...

This has been a crazy week. It started off with jury duty, followed by a crazy day at work and then by a major winter storm. You’re not allowed to take pictures inside the courthouse. That’s OK, it’s a modern government building, so boring doors. Knowing that I wasn’t going to get back out this... Continue Reading →
Many people have shared photos of older buildings (usually churches) that stand today, surrounded by modern skyscrapers in a busy downtown area of a city. I have often commented that one of my favorite buildings is located in a similar setting. Last week, I had the opportunity to take some photos of that building. While... Continue Reading →
