Food Coma and food for thought

So how’s that food coma coming along now that Thanksgiving is over?  Maybe there’s some room for food for thought…

When it rains, it pours…

I can go for weeks without having anything to say.  Then things happen, one after the other and I have too much to comment about.  So I usually don’t.  But these are things that I just couldn’t ignore.

Hello, I’m back!

For those of my readers (all two of you) wondering what happened to me for the past month or so, I haven’t gone away.  I tend to hibernate during the of the worst winter season (when I’m not shoveling, that is).  But it looks like the groundhogs (Punxsutawney Phil and Connecticut’s own [...]
