Less Important Things

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 →

Oh the Humanity

I’m sitting here on Sunday, watching it snow, trying to follow the Steelers football game against the Browns and corresponding with former coworkers who are wondering who replaced me in the “do we close the office” decision making role. I hated to tell them, but it’s the CEO, the guy who grew up in Buffalo,... Continue Reading →

I’m Not A… – #1LinerWeds

For more than several years, I’ve been saddened and frustrated by the trend of replacing journalists and trained/educated specialists with analysts and actors on all things news, sports and weather. I don’t watch much “network” news and I watch even less “cable channel” news, but I still see enough to make my skin crawl, my... Continue Reading →

The Show that Never Ends – #SoCS

It is a dark and stormy Saturday in Connecticut. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. But it is Saturday and it’s time to head to the bar, where our conversation will be guided by Linda Hill’s Just Jot it January and Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Today, Linda invites us to talk about the appliance/industry that defines... Continue Reading →

Itching For a Fight

I started a new card in my Trello notebook with the title, but before I could jot my thoughts into a comment box, I started wondering where that expression came from. Of course, I googled. I didn't find an entry for the etymology of the phrase – that is to say it wasn't in the... Continue Reading →

What Happened to Our Independence?

Tomorrow is Independence Day here in the United States. Free from the tyranny of British rule, that’s us for almost 250 years. It’s always a happy time, never more so than in 1976, when a few of my friends and I braved the traffic and the crowds to celebrate the Bicentennial at Point State Park... Continue Reading →

Step Into the Light

I’ve been dwelling on a particular disk in the Twilight Zone DVD set for the past few weeks. It’s not like I watch it every day, but each time I go to eject it, I decide to watch a couple of episodes one more time. It’s from season two, and it features the last five... Continue Reading →

Remember Those Who Brought Us Here

In a week when the news organizations will ignore all else in favor of what happens/happened tomorrow, I would like to draw your attention to the event at the end of the week. Here in the US, Veterans Day is this Friday. When I walk our Irish Setter, Maddie, through Veterans Memorial Park, it’s usually... Continue Reading →

One-Liner Wednesday – Outside

“Timothy Leary's dead No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in” - Moody Blues On Sunday morning, I was listening to NPR when they started talking about the Iowa Caucuses and I kinda lost it. I can’t listen to any more politicians or political analysts. It’s just so much of the same stuff. I reached... Continue Reading →

Influence Redux

I started this blog three years ago this month with a post on influence that was inspired by some questionable “analysis” of my Klout score. That post attracted one lonely ‘Like’ (Thanks Marc) and the entire month of July 2011 saw just over 100 people visit this blog. That stood as a high-water mark for... Continue Reading →
