Stephen Tyng Mather House CT National Historic Landmark 19 Stephen Mather Road, Darien As Hoang knows all too painfully well and many of you probably assume, a drive across Connecticut to a completely non-CTMQ event simply must include at least one quick little CTMQ-something. Otherwise, it just wouldn’t be … [Read more...]
160. Silverman’s Animal Farm
Go Easton Young Man Easton (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 For some unknown reason, I originally had this place written up as a non-museum and filed it away in the hinterlands of CTMQ. I don't know what I was thinking as this place (for our purposes) is a great little zoo (of sorts) to take your kids too. … [Read more...]

Shenipsit Afterword
6 Section Hikes, 4 Regional Hikes Began: 11/24/2007 (Case Mountain Trails) Finished: 12/23/2016* *I completed the Shenipsit in 2010... but then they extended it at some point and I had to go back up to Stafford to complete it again.

Shenipsit Trail: Section 5
Section 5: ShenipThat'sIt!* Ellington/Somers/Stafford ~ 8 miles May 2010 *The title implies that this section completed the Shenipsit. That later became inaccurate, for as you'll read, the northern end was extended. This just didn’t seem right. A hike on the Shenipsit – my final one – with good weather! … [Read more...]

177. ArtPlace at Yale Physician’s Building
You Need Guts to Go Here… Um, No You Don’t New Haven (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 No, this isn’t a museum. Not even close.

Real Art Ways
Kevin Van Ael-some Hartford (Google Maps location) August 5, 2010 I’m a lucky dude. No, not only because I’m so gosh-darn handsome, but also because I get to meet a lot of really cool and talented people along the CTMQ-way. Sure, I’ve been on the teevee and in several newspapers and magazines, but it’s still … [Read more...]
Dog Rock v.Preston
My Dogged Pursuit Continues Dog Rock, Preston August 7, 2010 While tooling down Route 165 into Preston City, Hoang noted how cute this painted rock was. Hoang likes dogs. Her family Chihuahua had just died a couple days ago. Don’t feel too badly; BeauBeau was N-I-N-E-T-E-E-N years old and quite frankly, looked … [Read more...]
Essay: It Just Tears Me Up
Note: I wrote this essay way back in January 2009, pretty much just for the heck of it. I submitted it to Newsweek but only received a "Thanks, but we're changing the format of "My Turn." Good luck." I never did anything with it and totally forgot about it until about 20 minutes ago because I've been feeling guilty … [Read more...]
