Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Work is calling this week, so an unusually short Thursday Doors post has been queued-up since Tuesday. I think it’s OK, Lord knows I’ve gone over the word count a few times. I didn’t have time to find any new doors, but it’s a good day to use some doors that have been hanging around,... Continue Reading →
Summer activity is in full swing around here, which is putting a crimp on doorscurrsions and, to a lesser degree, time for writing. I had a plan for this week’s Monday post and Thursday Doors. When Monday’s post went off the rails, it took Thursday with it. I think they call that collateral damage. In... Continue Reading →
Near the end of August, I spent some time taking care of my daughter’s cats while she was on vacation. It’s an easy task. The cats are both male and we get some serious slug time in, lounging in front of the TV and eating. On the way to and from her condo, I have... Continue Reading →
Everything traffic-related aligned last week, and I ended up with about 20 minutes in between the end of my haircut and my breakfast with my friend John. I decided to put that time to good use. Of course, that means getting some door pictures. I have many pictures of the CT Capitol Building, but most... Continue Reading →
I first noticed this old fire house last spring when our daughter was recovering from surgery. She had been given permission to “walk up to two miles” and she clearly wanted to take that walk.

I was somewhat wrong on both counts. Tucked in between the Post Office and Walgreens, the church really isn’t all that easy... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, I asked my wife if she would agree to a short stop for a few photos on our way to a social engagement. She agreed. Upon arrival, she jokingly said: “I should have known it would be a door.” Yes, my family members indulge me my habit. But this isn’t just a door,... Continue Reading →
Most of my regular readers know that I love trains. I take trains whenever I can, and I particularly like it when I can board the train at the Windsor Locks train station. The station is about two miles from my house, and since it’s only the second stop on the AMTRAK Northeast Regional, I... Continue Reading →
Today’s doors are on St. James Episcopal Church in Farmington, CT. They began building this church in 1873 and they continued adding onto it until 1958. Henry Mason, a parishioner when they were holding services in a chapel over a grocery store, designed and built the original church building (the portion shown on the right).... Continue Reading →
