But as I've settled on the major sections of this website, I realized I have a few outlying subjects that simply never fit in elsewhere. Granted, many of these … [Read more...]
Highpointing and Peak-Bagging Intro
This Page Needs More Prominence! Highpointing & Peakbagging Don't tell anyone, but this is perhaps my favorite pursuit. Moreso than museums. If I had the time, I’d devote a lot of time to these lists. As life would have it, what with two little kids and a job and all that, these are pretty much life-long … [Read more...]
Why State Highpointing?
"Why?" "What the heck?" "What's the purpose of that?" "I don't get it." These are but a few of the comments I've heard since I became aware of highpointing and decided it was a goal I'd like to pursue. And that was just from my (at the time of this writing) fiancee, the … [Read more...]
Modern Library’s Top 100 Novels
Just Read 2002 - 2039 or so Outside of all the regular CTMQ stuff, I have other goals. One of those goals is to read The Modern Library Top 100 English novels of the 20th century. If all goes well, I hope to finish the entire list around retirement age. This little scheme began in 2002 as an agreement with Hoang … [Read more...]
Bahamas & Florida (2017)

Cape Cod 2020
There was a Pool Brewster, MA Peak Pandemic Summer on the Cape. Desperation. Wealthy city folk snapping up every rental property from Newfoundland to Hilton Head. Prices through the roof. Going crazy stuck in our house for months. Must go somewhere. Must make it worth our while. Must have a pool. Must pay … [Read more...]
Maine 2021
Ogunquit & Kennebunk, Maine August 2021 After eight or so years of vacationing on Cape Cod, I convinced Hoang that it was time to mix it up. Why not downeast Maine? Less driving time and I could find essentially the same experience. She (very) reluctantly agreed and that's how we ended up in the center of Ogunquit. … [Read more...]
