Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Doesn’t that sound nice? I started thinking about this last week while attending our company’s Annual Meeting in Florida. No, not the beach, not a walk along the Gulf shore. Rather, a terrace outside a series of meeting rooms where several companies were having breakfast. I saw the sign below and thought: “we need more... Continue Reading →
The challenge has been presented, and there are bonus points at stake. Linda G. Hill has set the tone and directed the course of our writing with her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘ma.’ Use it as a word or find a word with 'ma' in...

“Ugh, I forgot my phone!” Yep, that happened to me on Monday. I wasn’t very far into my morning commute, but I was on the highway, and the next exit would be a 20-minute round-trip to home and back. In addition to that, taking 20 minutes to get back to that point would mean an... Continue Reading →
Or perhaps that’s good-bye sunshine… If you’ve been following No Facilities for a year or more, you know that I am no fan of Daylight Saving Time.

Both posts were for good causes but I do worry about overdoing it – I wouldn’t want my editor to go on strike (or ask for a raise). So this... Continue Reading →
About a month ago, I was complaining about Daylight Saving Time, as I am wont to do every year. My upset was with the fact that I was losing the daylight that had just begun to accompany me on my morning commute. I am not one to hold a grudge, and I do have a... Continue Reading →
I’ve written in the past about the degree to which I dislike Daylight Saving Time. I think it’s a dumb idea. It doesn’t surprise me that politicians keep it alive, because retail and recreation industries of all sorts like it. It also comes as no surprise that those same politicians are quite capable of ignoring... Continue Reading →
The way my posts this weekend have lined up, you might think I’m being paid by Deborah over at Circadianreflections Blog. It’s not the case. It is the case, however that the event highlighted in this post was inspired by Deborah. As Faith and I were planning our trip to Pittsburgh last fall, Deborah was... Continue Reading →
