Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
If you participate in Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt, you may go through the week identifying candidates. I collected quite a few this week. There were several at the dentist’s office while I was getting my teeth cleaned. The dentist will be closed beginning tomorrow for 2-3 weeks. There was one during the Facebook... Continue Reading →
My one-liner (the sign) was taken during a different winter and would normally be an appropriate warning at this time of year. As the temperature begins to rise in March, the snow along the upper 350 miles (563 km) of the Connecticut River would start melting and the river would rise. Great River Park (the...

Let me give you a brief update on Monday’s rant. Black Friday deals are still arriving in my inbox and Cyber Monday has morphed into Cyber Week. The only change worth noting was the arrival of a slew of emails urging me to participate in “Giving Tuesday” – I guess this is sort of the... Continue Reading →
I’m sitting here on Sunday, watching it snow, trying to follow the Steelers football game against the Browns and corresponding with former coworkers who are wondering who replaced me in the “do we close the office” decision making role.

We had a snow storm overnight. I’ll have to mention how much we got in a comment, later. As this is being posted by the WordPress overnight gremlins, I’ll either be getting ready to go to work, because it fizzled, or I’ll be finally testing that new headlamp on my snow blower, or, I’ll be...

So far, this winter has been bad news for doorscurrsions in New England. Between rain, snow, ice, ice, ice and cold, the barriers to leisure photography have been many. Last week, I was in Hartford for a haircut. I leave much earlier than I have to, because I want to make sure I am on... Continue Reading →
February seems bound and determined to make sure we understand that it is part of winter. Not the month before spring. Not the gateway to the pasture where March will come in like a lamb. Winter. “I am Winter!” Yeah, yeah, Febs, we get it. Most every nice-weather day, two coworkers and I walk for... Continue Reading →
