bus stop on Pearl St.

Noticed on Saturday night, 6:30 pm, May 23: one standard city bus stop, Pearl Street at Haynes, festooned with enormous heart-shaped candy-type box, mini-picket fence, assorted silk flowers. Too late in the year for Valentines Day. Does anybody know what this is about? Inquiring minds want to know….

Recipe for apathy

Well…the 2009 Board of Elections are almost in the books and the city is a spinning with love. Well, not quite love, but there’s alot of emotion running around. It was, unfortunately, a typical Board of Education turnout from the voters…LOW. People who don’t know the system want to go ahead and blame the turnout [...]

BoE Candidates Forum

Dateline: October 27, 2009 – 11 Candidates for the Hartford Board of Education elections came together for, what all reports say was, one of the most successful of such forums held at the Library’s X Room. I had my Tuesday evening Civic Leadership course with CCNE and was kinda bumming as I wanted to hear [...]

Ladies in Waiting

The hackney poet.

Having just promised you that we would be back regularly around these bloggie parts, I found myself winging my way, back-to-back, to South Dakota and Tennessee. There are many tales of my sometimes-most-unusual business travel that I cannot tell here, but, before I return to today’s appointed rounds, allow me to share this bit from my Nashville cab d […]

Will-o’-the-wisp.

Ah, we went away for the August recess and never even said that we were going. How horribly impolite. There were many adventures, including a week on the Cape with the besties, their beastie, their babe, and The Bods. There were also many stories, but I’m a will-o’-the-wisp and after a story has been through its tell I usually forget [...]

Lyrical Uncertainty

In America?

I haven’t posted here in a while, and for that I apologize, but I hope to make up for it with this absolutely fascinating tidbit. There is, right now, in the state of Pennsylvania, a town that has been essentially erased from existence due to the fact that it has been on fire for the past 50 years. Go [...]

Bartender please

I have, through the course of my career, been blessed with the opportunity to visit the most amazing places and partake in some truly unique experiences too numerous to recount. Sporting events, far-off points in distant countries, race car races, race car rides, secret hidden restaurants, giant malls, and yes, once, duck hunting. In a pond. I’ve [...] […]

PHH: God Save the Gov'r, and her fascist sweaters!

Woke up this morning to find out that the Jubilee was over; Govmother Rell wouldn't be seeking out another term. The Democrats sighed a collective sigh of a relief, while the Republicans now realize they might have to work to put someone in place that looks as sweet and innocent in a sweater and scarf so that we taxpayers feel all cozy, even when budget […]

The Stretch of Sketch Gets a Makeover

This morning I was greeted with one of the best surprises ever — the area of Capitol Avenue between Laurel and Forest (AKA The Stretch of Sketch AKA The Corridor of Hope) was cleaned up. There was still litter on the sidewalk, but I mean that the real annoying mess was cleaned up. The tires, [...]

Settling In

I've owned this condo for two weeks, as of today. I've been sleeping here for a few days. Yet already it's starting to feel like home. Not because of the mess (which I've been picking away at since the move) but just settling in - knowing where the angles are and the rise of the stairs on my feet, finding a routine in terms of heat and wi […]

Moving Day

As is my norm, I overscheduled for my moving day. Overscheduling event #1: After a month of rainy weekends (one flyable weekend day on October) this weekend proved beautiful for ballooning, so we went out on Saturday morning. Nice flight from Southington to Berlin, notable mostly for the passenger's husband riding in the chase van and marveling at my na […]

So... blogger tells me that I'm out of space on the free image hosting site and I have to pay if I want to post more cool pics. So, WPU is on unpaid leave until I can scrape together this embarrassingly small fee. Donations welcome.To hold you over until that happens, I present Gabi dressed as Mexican Barbie with swine flu and Sutanya dressed as Beyonce […]
