Do You See It? – #1LinerWeds

Our daughter Faith and I attended the Haddam Neck Fair on Sunday. If I hope to stay close to the theme of Linda’s weekly challenge, I need to seriously curtail my desire to explain everything that we saw, and everything we ate, and the one precious thing Faith discovered as we were leaving. The Haddam... Continue Reading →

My Last Labor Day

Today is Labor Day in the US. The workingman’s holiday. According to some, “A tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.” I’m not sure whom I should thank. Labor Day is the first holiday I was ever paid for. A whole day’s pay while I was... Continue Reading →

Europe, Goshen & Subcontinent Doors

Well, not really, but our daughter suggested the title and since she was kind enough to drive me on a frenetic doorscurrsion, I thought I’d go with it. 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 →

My Encounters with Organized Labor

It’s a holiday weekend (Labor Day) here in the US. I wrote this post in 2013. Since so few people visited this blog at that point, I revised it for today. You’ll be please to know that I trimmed about 100 words off the original. The first time I came face to face with organized... Continue Reading →

Labor Day – Lessons

I began working for Airborne Freight as a “Methods Analyst” in 1978. My job was to find ways to improve business processes. As the new guy, I was given the job of planning the implementation of a computer system that had been designed by one of the senior analysts. The goal of the system was... Continue Reading →

Hurry–3 Days Only

Labor Day is a challenge for me. Since I shifted to a blogging schedule that includes a Monday post, and since that’s when I sometimes get all philosophical, it seems that I should address the holiday in some meaningful way. It’s hard because, here in the US, Labor Day is tightly coupled with the end-of-summer,... Continue Reading →

Happy Labor Day 2015

I wrote this post in 2012. This blog was slightly over a year old but had collected fewer views in 14 months than it usually does in one month today. I am re-posting this for three reasons. 1) I like it and I think it remains relevant. 2) Most of you didn’t see it. The... Continue Reading →

Labor of Love

I started writing this post in my daughter’s apartment while watching a pair of male cats and the NCAA Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. Faith was away, and those boys needed to be fed – they always need to be fed. Those two knuckleheads have the “oh-my-God-I-am-starrr-ving” look down to a T. I entered the apartment to...

Go Where the Current Takes Us

I didn’t imagine that I would be returning to the topic of rivers so soon, but family and friends and the calendar have combined to nudge my brain to the point where I can’t think of anything else to write about. First, my daughter set up a Pinterest – that’s pin-ter-est, not pinetrest or pinerest... Continue Reading →
