Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
If you recall, we left the bar last week with a curious “to be continued…” notice. Well, it’s Friday and time to see if Linda G. Hill is going to give us a Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt that will let me proceed with that story. Here we go: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of... Continue Reading →
February is upon us. JusJoJan is over, but the roller-coaster-weather-ride is still running in New England. It’s time for our Stream of Consciousness Saturday visit to the bar, where Linda G.

But still, to keep the “Dan doesn’t understand the rules” streak going, I have a few one-liners that tell the story: “We made that trip.” “We were at that game.”... Continue Reading →
A funny thing happened on the way to Thursday Doors. It rained. In fact, it’s been raining since before Norm called for a two week break, back in July. After posting last week’s doors, I was wondering what doors I could feature. Perhaps I could search through all the leftover folders. Perhaps a traffic jam... Continue Reading →
This summer has been a race against time and a battle with Mother Nature. We are trying to complete some projects around the house, maintain a garden and keep a dog happy – nature has NOT been cooperating.
