New Britain’s Town Trails I make no secret of my love for New Britain. I've said it many times on this here website. This isn't the page to explain my feelings, which is probably weird as this is the page that will leave you wondering why. I like to hike. New Britain doesn't really offer anything in the way … [Read more...]

Cromwell Creamery
Crom-om-nom-om Cromwell Creamery, Cromwell July 2019 This page contains a terrifying picture of me below.

254. Payne Whitney Gym
Poola-Poola New Haven (Google Maps location) October 12, 2013 You know what?

I plan on “completing” Lebanon CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
