Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
If we were having a beer, you’d be picking on me, from the start. “Hi Cheryl. It’s his turn to pay, but you might want to get his credit card up-front, I hear he hasn’t been paying his bills.” “You wouldn’t stiff me for a couple Coronas, would you Dan? You are still drinking those... Continue Reading →
Bear with me as I turn this show over to the voices in my head. They’ve been cooped up for several weeks but today’s SoCS prompt seems like one I can trust to them at which they will excel. Oh, I guess they’re in control. Now that we got him to shut up, let’s take... Continue Reading →
Last month, just before leaving for Pittsburgh, I had to travel to New York City for a meeting. Just like last year, there was a technology show at the Javits Center the day I had to be in the city.

Initially, I wasn’t sure how to get to Silver Spring from Hartford, CT; I didn’t realize that the DC Metro system goes to Silver Spring. In addition to the funny story that little journey brought us, that fact also meant that I could... Continue Reading →

“The carnival is next weekend” They’ve been setting up for the Firemen’s Annual Carnival for well over a week. It takes place in the park Maddie and I walk through. We’ve been watching as the burger shack went up, then the beer shack and then the carnies arrived. First a lone trailer, then the rides,... Continue Reading →
