I’m not sure, but I think I saw something like this on Three’s Company. You know the sitcom from the 70s and 80s where the three roommates (2 girls and 1 guy) got in all these mixups and misunderstandings? Well, maybe this doesn’t fall into the sitcom world, but it does fall into the blog … Continue reading Three’s Company

On Probation
A Double Secret Probation. I love Milton. I really do. I’ve been here 25 years. That’s not a weekend visit. That’s not a “we’re thinking about moving here.” That’s two and a half decades of property taxes, town events and parades and waving at people I don’t remember meeting. Milton is the perfect town size: … Continue reading On Probation
The Good ‘Ole Days
I’ve always been fascinated by history. Not just people and places, but I’m also fascinated by where something came from. Maybe it’s an object or something that happened and I want to know the origin of where it came from. Or perhaps it’s a phrase that we use in our own culture. As you might … Continue reading The Good ‘Ole Days
One Day Late and a Dollar Short
I’ve been had. Curses. And to be 100% honest – I’m quite upset about it. I feel as if I’ve been cast aside. A major corporation has wronged me. Like, what did I ever do to them? And when I say MAJOR corporation, I do mean a MAJOR corporation. So what do I do? Do … Continue reading One Day Late and a Dollar Short

This Has Got to Stop.
But I know it’s not going to. It’s with both excitement and quite a bit of sadness that I tell you – my oldest has turned 20. 20. TWENTY. I’m not ready for that. I’m just getting used to this adulting thing myself, I was dragged into it kicking and screaming. It used to problems … Continue reading This Has Got to Stop.
Wild Wild (WaWa) West
I do a bit of work here and there. I travel for work and I take on projects that might last for weeks, even months. Luckily, the last 3 long term projects I’ve worked on have been near a WaWa: Bridgeville and Long Neck in Delaware and presently the WaWa in Cambridge, Maryland. When there … Continue reading Wild Wild (WaWa) West
‘Twas The Night Before Christmas Break Was Over
Of all the things I’ve written, all the worthless nonsense and all the crazy ideas, I rather like this one. I wrote it years ago, many years ago, when my daughters, you know them by now, Kate and Charlotte, as you are regular readers of my blog (AREN’T YOU !?!?!?), were still young and in … Continue reading ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas Break Was Over
“That’s Just Unconscious Knowledge”
And if you know what song that is from, pat yourself on the back and give yourself +1 pt One of the things I do, is I try to enrich people’s lives with random knowledge. After all, you never know when Jeopardy might be calling, and you want to be prepared. We all know that … Continue reading “That’s Just Unconscious Knowledge”
