Expect the Unexpected – #1LinerWeds

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 Can Hear My Dad – #1LinerWeds

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 →

My Space – #1LinerWeds

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 →

That Went Well – #1LinerWeds

Our daughter Faith visited on Sunday. When she texted to let me know she was on her way,I asked her if she wanted to walk with me and Maddie before leaving for our hike. She loves Maddie and agreed. As we got started, Maddie was very excited to have Faith walking her. Faith handed me... Continue Reading →

Permission Granted – #1LinerWeds

When I was packing up my office, I stumbled across a few mementos from a period about twenty years ago when I volunteered for our local Junior Achievement (JA) program. I was the leader/teacher for the JA program designed for fifth grade students. I was assigned to a class in a Catholic elementary school near... Continue Reading →

What Else Can I say? – #1LinerWeds

Yesterday was a very long day – my last day in the office. People have been asking me about my future plans, but lately the question has been: “What’s the first thing you’re going to do?” My answer: “I’m going to thank a lot of people.” This post is part of Linda G.

Watch Your Step – #1LinerWeds

We are at the point in our stairs/steps/landings project where I’ve begun working on the stairs coming down from our porch. There are two sets, one that exits to the driveway and one that exits to the yard. These aren’t tall staircases. In fact, they only rise between 21-30 inches (53-76cm), but they are challenging....

Forcing Our Hand – #1LinerWeds

Yesterday, AIIM New England (the New England Chapter of AIIM International) held their kick-off event for the 2019-2020 educational year. For 10 years or so, we have been meeting at the large community table in the bar of the Burlington Marriott. It’s a comfortable place. They serve pretty good food, and the table is large...

E O Hyphen – #1LinerWeds

Later today, I will be at my favorite lumber yard, placing an order for the Trex™ decking we need to install five new steps/sets of steps. Of course, I also need deck boards to create a uniform platform outside of my workshop that is befitting the occupant who claimed that space as her own. When... Continue Reading →
