Don’t Be Grumpy – #1LinerWeds

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 →

Tis the Season – #ThursdayDoors

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 →

Just Passing By – #ThursdayDoors

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 →

What He Said – #1LinerWeds

Have you ever been in a situation where someone is being a loud-mouth jerk and you want to say something but what you’re thinking of saying would likely make matters worse? I was in such a situation last Thursday, but fortunately, another man wanted to say something and came up with the right thing. If... Continue Reading →

The First Last

I’ve watched a number of friends and coworkers retire, and one of the things that always seems to happen is the realization that they are doing something for the last time. Although I’m still almost a year away from that milestone moment in my career, I have just experienced my first last thing. Every November... Continue Reading →

Roll with the Punches – #SoCS

It’s not just Saturday at the bar, it’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Linda G. Hill has given us one of her famous ‘use one or both’ – wait, I don’t see an offer of bonus points – oh well, it looks like a fun prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘roll/role.’...

Cleaning Out the Fridge – #ThursdayDoors

Since last week’s Thursday Doors post went live, I have spent five days on our little construction project and two hectic days at my day-job. I did manage to squeeze in a short doorscursion, but it turns out the doors I photographed are more interesting than I realized. Writing that up has required a little... Continue Reading →

Thursday Doors – Baltimore & Ohio Offices

As much as I see Baltimore as a rivalry city to my hometown of Pittsburgh, there is no denying the fact that Baltimore is one of America’s great railroad cities. Everybody who has ever played Monopoly has coveted the B&O Railroad, and with good reason. The Baltimore and Ohio was the first common carrier railroad... Continue Reading →

National Train Day 2018 – #SoCS

I’ve combined #SoCS with a bar story and National Train Day. I have given this a lot of thought, maybe too much for #SoCS – I’ll see if I can get a ruling from Linda G. Hill, whose Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘on the... Continue Reading →
