Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
The notes in my blog-idea-tracking system, a.k.a. Trello tell me that I’m supposed to remind a lot of people that National Train Day will be celebrated (quietly) on Saturday, May 9th. I’ve been dedicating a post on my blog on the “Saturday closest to May 10th” (as AMTRAK defined it) for several years. Unfortunately, AMTRAK,... Continue Reading →
It’s time for Linda G. Hill’s double-stuff Saturday, where Stream of Consciousness Saturday meets Just Jot January and we’re left with: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘last call.’ Talk about the enterprise (sales or service) conducted by the last phone call you received from a business you’re not associated with...

I’m thinking about trains this week. There have been several articles in our local papers about how the relatively new Connecticut Railroad’s Hartford Line has exceeded expectations and reached the One Million Passenger mark well ahead of schedule. I like this train, and I’m thinking about taking a ride just for the fun of it.... Continue Reading →
I’ve been tossing several doors aside each week for almost a month. Sooner or later, I either need to use them or I forget where they are. I’ve been swamped at work this week, so it seems like a good day to use them. I’ve done my best to tell the story in the captions.... Continue Reading →
It’s a sweltering Saturday here in Connecticut, but we’re going to cool off at the bar while we try to incorporate Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt into our conversation.

I traveled by train from Connecticut to Washington, DC in early December. This story starts on that train, in New Rochelle, NY (yes, where Rob and Laura lived). A woman got on the train, dressed for business and looking like she was ready to read someone the riot act. Our car was crowded, but the... Continue Reading →
No, not for Christmas, for leftovers. Following a short holiday week here in the US, I was greeted by the week that marks the end of our company’s fiscal year. A week spent weaving in and out of budgets and trying to finish that which should be paid for in 2018. Suffice it to say,... Continue Reading →
Today is Thanksgiving here in the US, So I want to be brief and stay with the spirit of the day. The doors in the gallery were collected from the train while traveling to/from New York City. I’ve done my best to describe them in the captions. You know the drill, if you’re in between... Continue Reading →
