Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Any man, woman, child, cat, dog, bird or rodent in New England will tell you that March never gave us anything close to spring weather. I guess those two warm days we had at the end of February constitute “in like a lamb” but it’s up to April to deliver the warmth and beauty of... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, I’d be trying to keep a secret from you. “I don’t think there’s a barman on duty today.” “Cheryl’s on duty. She’s probably in the back. Barman, what’s that all about?” “Sorry, I’m trying to use words with ‘man’ in them.” “Why?” “Actually, it’s your fault.” “How’s that?” “Your... Continue Reading →
On Sunday morning, Maddie wanted to go for a walk. I was reluctant, because some people haven’t cleared their sidewalks, and I wasn’t in the mood to trudge. I tired playing with her instead.

I don’t hawk products on this site, heck, I even pay for a premium deal so I can eliminate ads. No, this post is all about the... Continue Reading →
This is typically the hardest week of the year for me to publish on this blog. That’s because I write most of my posts for the week on the previous weekend. Not the whole posts, but a good working draft. I find that once I have a draft, I can smush it into some sense... Continue Reading →
Bear with me as I turn this show over to the voices in my head. They’ve been cooped up for several weeks but today’s SoCS prompt seems like one I can trust to them at which they will excel. Oh, I guess they’re in control. Now that we got him to shut up, let’s take... Continue Reading →
New England is known for being the land of four seasons, but what isn’t often mentioned, is the degree to which those seasons overlap. People will be fertilizing their lawns, repairing and preparing their pools and preparing flower beds in April and May while still living under the threat of frost and possibly snow. This...
