Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I think we’re all aware that the isolation protocol (I think that’s what this would be called onboard the Enterprise) under which we are operating, has made photographing doors difficult. I have some door photos in reserve, but I’ve trying to obtain new ones. Today’s doors, as you might have already guessed are ones that... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, and that means we’re at the bar, trying to help our sanity outlast the virus and weaving in a thread from Linda G. Hill, who gave us the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, yesterday: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘practice/practise.’ Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!” I...

I was considering all of the following for today’s post. I decided to be brief. Yes, this is Dan. Really, it’s me! Door-to-Door – No, not Thursday Doors, actual doors-that-have-to-be-replaced doors. For Christmas, The Editor gave me a new entry door for our family room. I gave her a matching storm door. Who says there’s... Continue Reading →
Last week, I needed to go shopping. That’s a new experience. This wasn’t grocery shopping or shopping in any establishment deemed essential by our state government.

While I was out and about on essential business, I was fortunate enough to pass a few nice doors. I was hoping that... Continue Reading →

Disinfected, perhaps, but stocked is a misnomer, as many shelves remain as bare as they have been for weeks. However, by... Continue Reading →
We had a snow storm overnight. I’ll have to mention how much we got in a comment, later. As this is being posted by the WordPress overnight gremlins, I’ll either be getting ready to go to work, because it fizzled, or I’ll be finally testing that new headlamp on my snow blower, or, I’ll be...

The little mall that is closest to us, is up for sale. Not just on the market, heading to the auction block. It was never much of a mall, but we always liked going there. Also, going there made going to the big mall in Holyoke, MA a special event. I will age myself mightily... Continue Reading →
