You Can't Judge a Book - Or Building - By Its Cover Middletown (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 This is going to be annoying having to type Beinecke over and over throughout this post. Why can't cool guys have cool last names like Wood? Whatever this place lacks in the naming department, it more than … [Read more...]

95. Middletown Sports Hall of Fame and Museum
Wesleyan Beer Pong Champion Huzzah! Middletown (Google Maps Location) March 16, 2009 Many towns in Connecticut have Sports Halls of Fame to honor their own heroes. The large majority of these are not worthy of this fine blog however, as they are merely a few plaques stuck on the wall of the town hall or Senior … [Read more...]
100th Museum Visit Celebration!
The Century Mark April 2009 Note: Since originally writing this page, I've found many, many more museums. So while I love the cake below, the math involved is terribly incorrect! In recognition of my 100th Connecticut museum visit, I'll spare you my boring yammerings about the cultural importance of museums. … [Read more...]
87. Sessions Woods Educational Center
Burlington Fur Coat Factory? Burlington (Google Maps Location) February 18, 2009 With Damian in the midst of a week long "Winter Break" from preschool, I can take him wherever I darn well please.

97. Wallace Barnes and Barbara Hackman Franklin Art Gallery
When Toplessness Goes Very, Very Wrong Farmington (Google Maps Location) April 8, 2009 Continuing my Winter/Spring 2009 spate of campus art galleries, I happened by this teeny tiny one during a writer's event at Tunxis Community College. In fact, this gallery is so small, you can walk from the entrance to the … [Read more...]
84. Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments
Lyre! Lyre! Clavicytherium on Fire! New Haven (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 Yale is an amazing place. It is renowned worldwide for its academics and famous alumni.

80. Slater Memorial Art Museum
A Full Slater of Art Norwich (Google Maps Location) November 14, 2008 This place absolutely deserves a proper revisit, as they've updated the joint pretty significantly - and because this page doesn't capture the greatness of the Slater. The Slater Memorial Art Museum is a Connecticut Art Trail site Ahhh, my … [Read more...]
81. Yale University Art & Architecture Galleries
Brutal... In a Good Way New Haven November 26, 2008 Hoang and I had taken the day before Thanksgiving off months before in order to make the drive to my parent's house in Delaware. Actually, anyone who drives in Megapolis on the day before Thanksgiving is certifiably insane. The plan was to go down on Tuesday, … [Read more...]
Lutz Children’s Museum
Lutz Kix Butz Manchester October 25, 2008 Ah, the bane of parents' lives: Toddler birthday party invites. Fortunately, being a dad (rather than a mom), I have been able to skip a few. Is that sexist? Yeah, probably. However, once in a great while a kid has a birthday party I'm eager to attend. Damian's … [Read more...]
91. UConn Contemporary Art Gallery
So This is Where Basket Weaving 101 Was Taught UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 I appreciate two things about this museum. One, its name is clear, concise and to-the-point. Two, it's very, very small. Continuing my full afternoon at UConn's various museums and museum-like places, I … [Read more...]
