Lake Waramaug State Park
Lake Waramaug State Park Kent July 5&7, 2013 I live in West Hartford, about an hour away from Kent. So why in the world did I go to Lake Waramaug twice in 3 days? Especially when we had no plans to even go at all two days prior? Friends, this is what life is all about. Life with kids anyway. When you are … [Read more...]

CTMQ&A: Rohan Freeman
Rohan Freeman A True Pioneer May 2013 Note: This is formatted a little differently from the usual CTMQ&A, but that's because it predated that more structured idea. Regardless, enjoy! I read a lot of magazines (and newspapers and online stuff and you get the point). And I actually read the UCONN Alumni magazine … [Read more...]
Glebe House Garden
Glebe House Garden Woodbury June 18, 2011 My visit to the Glebe House Museum here. I visited here almost exactly 2 years ago as I write this. That’s not so insane in CTMQ world as my second son was born just over 2 years ago – there’s a direct correlation here. You figure it out. What’s insane is that when I … [Read more...]
Meadow Stone Farm (Closed)
MMmmm, Cat Cheese Meadow Stone Farm, Brooklyn June 9, 2012 2014 Update: This innocuous little page, which has very little useful information on it, has become one of the stranger places on CTMQ. Much of it is hidden to you readers, but if you look at the comments, they provide some clues. I have deleted many of … [Read more...]

The Chocolate Lab (Closed)
Good Job, Dawg The Chocolate Lab, Greenwich May 25, 2013 2014 Update: I have received word that this place is closed. Re-reading this page is annoying, because I seem to have mixed up the names of the restaurant chef, the chocolate chef, and the real chocolate chef guy whom I never named. But if they are indeed … [Read more...]
State Highpointing Intro
I started documenting our highpointing trips back in early 2002 after we summitted our first state, Rhode Island. Back then, I wrote trip reports on a PC, printed them off, and inserted pictures like a 6th grade book report. I did this solely for myself, even though I felt all-the-while that I'd be transferring these … [Read more...]
