Cowards

As quite a few of you may know, I’m a member and volunteer at the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum in Willimantic, CT.  Well, last night (11/3/09) the museum was broken into and quite heavily vandalized.  Click here for the story, including some photos of the damage, from the Hartford Courant.  Shit like this just makes [...]

Blast from the Past

OK, it’s not what you think it is.  I dug up a photo from back in 1996, but it has nothing to do with railroading, or even my photography.

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!  This year my wife & daughters came up with a downright unique Father’s Day gift for me.  Nope, not a tie or a coffee mug.  But it is a shirt – but it’s not just any shirt.  They came up with a pretty cool design on [...]

2009 WPC Gallery Exhibit

Just a quick note that I’m participating in the 2009 Windham Photo Club’s Gallery Exhibit, which is free and open to the public.  I’ve got 10 photos hanging amongst about 200 from various club members.  I’ll be sitting on Saturday July 11th from 12-2PM, but if you want to arrange a time to come down, [...]

Some Pennsy Stuff

For you Pennsy fans out there some of the relics from the Pennsylvania Railroad era still standing around in the 21st century.

English 101

Rest In Peace Mandy

Yesterday was a very difficult day for us at home.  We had to say goodbye to a long time part of the family.  Our quarter horse, Mandy, has been sick the past month or so, and she wasn’t making any progress, so we had a tough decision to make.  At nearly 31 years old, we [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  Yeah, it’s still the 26th, but we’re having 20 people over tomorrow for Thanksgiving dinner, so I’ll be a bit preoccupied.  Thank you all for coming back and checking things out each time I publish a post – I hope you’re enjoying what I’m putting out here.  [...]

Seven Years

Seven years ago today, something horrific happened – a day I’ll never forget.  I was traveling for work – on a 2 week assignment to assist some co-workers in Morris Plains, NJ with the implementation of a document management system (in fact, it’s the same team I’m now a part of in my new job [...]

Happy Birthday America!

Still powerful words 232 years later. If you don’t know where this is from, you need to go back and take American History 101, or at least watch School House Rock.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, [...]
