Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I have been very busy since returning from a trip last week. I haven’t had time to hunt for new doors, or even deal with the doors I was planning to share today. Well, I did have time to deal with those, but I’ve been watching the Olympics. Fortunately, I had some interesting doors leftover... Continue Reading →
I lived in New York City (Queens) for a little over a year, beginning in 1977. I’ve been back too many times to count, both for business and pleasure, and one thing remains true: “if you think it would make a good photo, push the button.” You might end up with a “what was he... Continue Reading →
I recently was given a new iPad for work. I get to use it for non-work stuff, but my iPhone is my go-to mobile device. I have to buy my own phone. I use it for work stuff, just as much, perhaps more than I use the iPad for personal stuff, but these are the... Continue Reading →

I spent less than three years on a motorcycle. On the other hand, I have been riding a... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, you would be pleased to see that my daughter Faith was accompanying me. “Good to see a class act at this bar for a change.” “Aw, thanks” “In fact, in honor of this occasion, I’m going to pick up the tab. I know your dad wants a Yuengling, what... Continue Reading →
“No, the restrooms are at the end of this car. The next car is the cafe car. Please don't get them confused.” On Sunday, I accompanied our daughter to B&H Photo in New York City. She would normally drive to New Haven and take the more frequent and less expensive train service offered by Metro... Continue Reading →
