TWO PLUS WEEK REPORT — 21 FEBRUARY 2021
I enjoy writing. I write to remember. I write for enjoyment. And, I enjoy writing to share. This past week I have done a great deal of writing for the March issue of my CLARION newspaper, and I cannot stop … Continue reading
SERENDIPITOUS SNOWY SOJOURN – 4 FEBRUARY 2021
When a back roader (me) finds a road back of his favorite back road (US Route 7A) you cannot imagine the resulting euphoria. And there is a backstory to this serendipitous snowy sojourn. It all started buying some books a … Continue reading

CHANGE OF SCENERY – 13-16 JANUARY 2021
For safety, of course, options for travel, diners out, movies, and the like are limited, and best should simply be avoided. But a CHANGE OF SCENERY can help, and I have found a great way (for me) to enjoy a … Continue reading
IT STARTED WITH A COW IN 1796
9 January 2021, and no travels to write about. I do have a few quiet “get-aways” planned, but simply spots to read, research and write. And, even though I love home, it is nice to have a change of scenery … Continue reading
CHRISTMASES PAST — LOOKING BACK on 24 DECEMBER 2020

HOME and into HIBERNATION — 5 DECEMBER 2020 – 1965 AIRSTREAM CARAVEL
There is just so much you can do as winter approaches, and Dr. Dewey was at the perfect stopping point as the snows approached his high elevation in Weston. “Time to wrap it up,” he advised. The messed up plumbing … Continue reading
1965 AIRSTREAM CARAVEL — LADY RAB III — A Week Later, 27 November 2020
I am still “on top of the world” and even more excited with my “new” 1965 Airstream Caravel travel trailer – now LADY RAB III. The learning will never cease, and I have found a wealth of information on-line with … Continue reading
An “OLD-FASHIONED THANKSGIVING” – 26 November 2020
I got back from the Post Office shortly after 3PM on Wednesday, changed into pajamas, and have no desire, or need to go out until mid-Friday. Most years recently I have visited the boys, or dined out with a friend. … Continue reading
INTRODUCING – LADY RAB III – 20 November 2020
One of the pleasures I had with my “open bookshops” in Haddonfield, New Jersey, (1990-1995), and then in New Preston, Connecticut from 1995-2002, is that when I woke up I did not know what I would own at the end … Continue reading

A BREAK – ONE HOUR and TWO CENTURIES AWAY – 10-12 NOVEMBER 2020
I needed a break, we all need a break. But, I am afraid that taking a traditional break, and get-away could be a year away. Just a change of scenery is rejuvenating, and helpful, even if like me, you … Continue reading
