Those few of you in my inner circle know how I write pages for CTMQ. I think about what I’m going to write maybe in the car or shower, gather any materials or websites I’ll reference, sit down and type fast. I write them very quickly; never really proofreading or stopping along the way. I may wait a day or two (or … [Read more...]

NHL: Stephen Mather House
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.

Shenipsit Trail: Section 5
Section 5: ShenipThat'sIt!* Hopkins Road to Old County Road May 2010 *The title implies that this section completed the Shenipsit.

Real Art Ways
Kevin Van Ael-some Hartford (Google Maps location) August 5, 2010 I’m a lucky dude.

Sure, I’ve been on the teevee and in several newspapers and magazines, but it’s still … [Read more...]
