Workday Adventure
I had a little adventure the last time that I went to Connecticut for work. I decided to take my lunch break at the local beach. I like this beach because it’s convenient and free. It also has this excellent … Continue reading
What I Saw on Wednesday
I took the day off from work Wednesday. I was in need of a mental health day. With several hours all to myself, I went for a walk around the library. I always try to get out there at this … Continue reading
Today’s Project
I was cleaning off my desk when I found two partial sheets of stickers. One was creepy-crawlies (snakes, snails, millipedes, etc.) and the other monsters. Some of the stickers were damaged, so I cut off the bad ones and stuck … Continue reading

I had a great Mother’s Day this year. First, there was the treasure trove that the kids brought home with them from school. Livia gave me a tile with a picture of her on it. Marshall gave me a marigold … Continue reading

SITY: The Big & The Small
Perhaps it may seem silly to write about the little snowstorm we had last week given that we’re still digging out from the blizzard of 2015. But small snowstorms are wonderful. They’re a lot less trouble than blizzards and often … Continue reading
Winter Walk on a Pretty Day
On Saturday night, after the kids and I were done playing in the snow, we went to bed thinking that the snowstorm was over. Not so. The rain gave way to snow again during the night. When we woke up, … Continue reading
Snow Before Surgery
It snowed the day before my knee surgery. To me this seemed like a clear invitation to enjoy one last hike before temporarily losing my walking privileges. I accepted the invitation gladly, if cautiously. The last thing I wanted to … Continue reading
