Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It’s Saturday. Thanksgiving is behind us (in the US) and Rivalry Weekend (US College Football) is underway. So much to talk about, but we have another issue to deal with. In any case, we need to pay attention to Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt as we go: “Your Friday prompt for Stream... Continue Reading →
We are back at the bar, hoping to have some pleasant conversation, an adult beverage and maybe a bite to eat. While we’re at it, we’ll try to work around Linda G. Hill’s world-famous Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I wonder what Linda gave us this week: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday... Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I made enough progress on the steps/decks to spend a post describing it. In fairness to me, I have accomplished a lot, but things like painting and measuring and planning, don’t make for interesting stories. This week. Visible progress was made. I’ve got some pictures; I’ll share some details here... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned last week, some of the doors I was able to photograph during my evening commute were visible only because the trees are bare. After responding to some comments about that side-benefit of winter, I realized two things: 1) despite the fact that I began this week behind a shovel, winter is coming... Continue Reading →
I know I’ve shared the song at the end of this post before, but, as the title indicates, it’s a favorite of mine. Many years ago, my best friend introduced me to the Allman Brothers.

In my defense, the circumstances were different. First, in 2015, about 90% of my commute was on an Interstate highway. That still holds for my... Continue Reading →
Maddie has us very well trained. Sometimes, she is particular about whether I need to take her out or the Editor has to take her. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter. Monday, it mattered. It had snowed overnight Sunday into Monday. I spend several hours clearing the driveway and sidewalk of 8"(20cm) of heavy wet snow before... Continue Reading →
The best part of Friday is when Linda G. Hill publishes the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. That is, unless it’s a hard one… “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘cele-.’ Find a word that starts with or contains ‘cele’ and use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!” If we were having... 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 →
