Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →

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 →
“Oceanic, that’s it.” “What are you talking about?” “My wife asked me about the full name of the seafood place over in East Hartford – it’s Mickey’s Oceanic.” “I don’t like it when you guys come in here talking about other restaurants.” “Don’t mind my young friend, Cheryl, he’s having a senior moment. Besides, Mickey’s... Continue Reading →
If I’ve been slow to press the ‘Like’ button on your blog or if you’re saying “hmmm, I didn’t see a comment from Dan, he usually leaves a comment…” – well, I’m here to tell you it’s not my fault. My editor would say that it is my fault, because I’m a technology worker, the... Continue Reading →
