Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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. Enjoy!” Did she say bonus points? I hope... Continue Reading →
The other day, Jill over at J-Dubs Grin and Bear It, offered a plea of a post, complaining about having to pack for a business trip. I can’t say that I was much help. I informed/reminded her that packing for a short trip is one of the things that’s just easier for guys. Despite that... Continue Reading →
I have been traveling the past week, returning earlier today (Tuesday). I flew to Minneapolis, and after a couple of days there (some business, some fun), my brother drove us to Iowa. 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’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 →
It’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday, so it’s time to take Linda’s prompt and head to the bar. Linda sets the stage for this week’s conversation by giving us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘flower/flour.’ Use one, use both, it’s totally up to you. Enjoy!” She’s kidding, right? If we were having... Continue Reading →
Norm declared a mid-summer break from Thursday Doors, so there’s no link up today, as he and the little blue frog take some time to recharge. He said we can still post door photos, but Thursday Doors without Norm is kinda like Cheers without Norm. I can’t do it. A lot of my recent doors... Continue Reading →
