Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Last week, we received a warning flier in the mail. “You’re TV Equipment is Outdated!” I’ve been getting emails about this for several months. I don’t really care. I switched to Hulu and YouTube TV over a year ago. This mailing called attention to a series of events over the next 90 days, where I... Continue Reading →
I’m thinking about trains this week. There have been several articles in our local papers about how the relatively new Connecticut Railroad’s Hartford Line has exceeded expectations and reached the One Million Passenger mark well ahead of schedule. I like this train, and I’m thinking about taking a ride just for the fun of it.... Continue Reading →

Let me give you a brief update on Monday’s rant. Black Friday deals are still arriving in my inbox and Cyber Monday has morphed into Cyber Week. The only change worth noting was the arrival of a slew of emails urging me to participate in “Giving Tuesday” – I guess this is sort of the... Continue Reading →
I saved one picture from the group taken while I was cutting up the old steps in order to get them in the dumpster. If you look carefully at the cut line you can see that I was forcing the tool, trying to get through the board faster. If my dad were still alive, he... Continue Reading →
No, this isn’t an ad for obsolete social media, this was more of a declaration. When I described the writing desk that I made, and how it has become my morning place, I neglected to mention something about the location. The desk is under a window in our bedroom – a window with a cat... Continue Reading →
