It’s not just Saturday at the bar, it’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Linda G. Hill has given us one of her famous ‘use one or both’ – wait, I don’t see an offer of bonus points – oh well, it looks like a fun prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘roll/role.’...

With any luck, the gallery includes pictures of the completely sided west wall of our garage. As of early Sunday morning, this was not the case. I’ve been fortunate throughout the summer and early fall to be able to count Saturdays as work days. However, two of the past three weekends have included a washed-out... Continue Reading →
Over the weekend, someone commented on one of the photos of the garage siding that “you do it right, the first time, every time.” As fine a compliment as that is, it’s not entirely true. I do usually get things right, but sometimes the first attempt is a failure that helps me along to success.... Continue Reading →
If you follow this blog, you know that I don’t often stop anywhere near the one line that I have to offer. Today is different.

I have been rained out, steamed, roasted and threatened with being blown off the roof. The Editor’s... Continue Reading →
Linda G. Hill is going into dangerous territory with her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I mean, a lot of us were boys at one point. Anyway, the prompt is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘bodily function.’ Decide on one or write about a whole bunch of bodily functions. Bonus inspiration:...

I said it. Didn’t I say it? Didn’t I just say that you can’t trust spring to arrive in April in New England? I did – I said it on Monday! Technically, I said wrote that post on Saturday night, but I was right. On Monday morning, it started snowing. When I took Maddie out... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, you would be pondering the ecosystem. “So, how much snow did you get?” “Zero to forty-eight inches.” “What? You sound like one of those TV weathermen, sorry, weatherpeople, weatherfolk – what are we supposed to call those clowns?” “Well, there’s ‘Meteorologist Goodhair’ – ‘MapGeek Charlie’ – and ‘Parka Boy’...
