Who Arted? Connecticut Art Trail I first published this page in 2009. The CT Art Trail has gone through many changes since then, and keeping up with it has been a challenge. As such, I can't pretend that the listing here is 100% accurate at the day and time you are reading this. So go to the Connecticut Art … [Read more...]
Everything Else
Miscellanea, Curiosities and... Everything Else Welcome to the most difficult section of CTMQ to curate. It has been incorrectly titled Ephemera. It has been called Miscellanea. Then it was Curiosities. Now it's "Everything Else." The most frustrating part of this whole massive section, to me, is that there's too … [Read more...]

Toggy the Two-Headed Goat (Gone)
The G.O.A.T. Riverview Farms, Glastonbury I believe ol' Toggy has been removed. How awesome is this? It's Toggy, the two-headed goat! She was born on January 21, 2008, right in the room we were standing in! Just a genetic abnormality, Toggy had two spines too, but only one set of organs. I think it was … [Read more...]
New Haven Holocaust Memorial
First, Oldest, Most Sobering New Haven Holocaust Memorial This isn't a typical CTMQ page in that a) it contains no puns or satirical quips, b) I didn't write most of it, and c) the photography is phenomenal. Okay, c) above is not true and it could be categorized as a satirical quip. I guess I simply can't … [Read more...]
Book Review: Ring in the Dead
EAT It Ring in the Dead, J.A. Jance (2013) This novella is terrible. I honestly don't understand why the author, J.A. Jance, is popular and successful. Perhaps her long-form fiction is much better and these short serialized novellas just aren't her bag. I have no idea. Speaking of having no idea, you likely … [Read more...]

Another Earth (2011)
Another Connecticut Movie Another Earth, 2011 Ahhhh... after a slew of awful "Connecticut movies," I'm so happy to have watched an engaging, interesting, actually pretty good Connecticut movie! Finally. And the craziest thing about Another Earth, a relatively small release little movie, is that when I borrowed it … [Read more...]
Town Bridge
This Old Town (Bridge) Town Bridge Canton I'm not sure why I'm giving this old bridge a place on CTMQ. When I took the photos on this page I remember that I thought it was a cool bridge. Very old school. One lane and still operational. I think that at the time I thought, "there aren't too many one lane iron … [Read more...]
Book Review: Turning the Tables
Merda Pura Turning the Tables, Teresa Giudice The pandemic has been wild. We've all done things we never thought we'd do... going a week without a shower, eating ice cream for breakfast, learning what Minecraft actually is... and reading a prison memoir from a "Real Housewife of New Jersey." Or her ghostwriter. … [Read more...]
