Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Note: This was originally published in 2013, before most of you were following. A complex series of minor events brought me back to this post yesterday and I decided to edit and rerun it. When I was growing up, family vacations were to two places and we drove to both. That’s where the similarity ends.... Continue Reading →
I warned River Girl that I might someday give her the guy’s-eye view of packing, after she made fun of the way her husband unpacked in a hotel vs. the way she did. Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt plays right into that threat: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is... Continue Reading →
One of the interesting features of the over-the-top accommodations I was given at The Broadmoor last week, was a walk-in closet. I have to be honest; I’ve never been in a hotel room with a walk-in closet – I have been in hotel rooms that were the size of some walk-in closets, but I digress.... Continue Reading →
Once again, it’s time to gather at the bar and bend our conversation around Linda G. Hill’s fun and challenging Stream of Consciousness Saturdayprompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘wrap/rap.’ Use one, use both (for bonus points), use ’em any way you’d like.

I had a wonderful time, ate delicious food, sampled a variety of beers and, most important, visited with people who are very dear... Continue Reading →
If this looks familiar, it's because it was accidentally posted yesterday. Either I didn't know the date, or WordPress was messing with me. Whenever I travel, I try to eat at the bar. I don’t know why, but some restaurants don’t let you eat at the bar, or they offer a limited bar menu. I... Continue Reading →
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 →
Earlier this week, I was up near Boston for a few meetings. Traveling for business is a thing that I am used to after 40+ years. I don’t travel nearly as much as I did in the early 80s, and travel isn’t as unpleasant as it was back then. Well, I should say travelling to... Continue Reading →
