Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It’s Saturday and with any luck, Cheryl will be back behind the bar as we enjoy an adult beverage, some light conversation and try to accommodate Linda G. Hill’s fun Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. This week, Linda has given us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘loud.’ Find any word that... Continue Reading →
This is a Thursday Doors post (I didn’t think the hashtag would fit in the title without causing it to wrap). It’s also a riverboat post, and if that makes you think of “The Delta Pearl,” Teagan Geneviene’s current serial story, well, there is a connection. There’s also a connection to my youth. I’ll get...

Well well well, look who’s coming to beg the voices to take the wheel as your blog goes off a cliff. Well, we’re not ones to look a gift laptop in the keys. Step aside bucco, we got this. It’s a good thing we’re in control. If you ask us...I know, you didn’t ask us,... Continue Reading →
In late August, I discovered something very special about my adopted hometown of Hartford, Connecticut – a special connection to my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
