Mass Exodus? Mass Audubon Passport to Nature Warning: This page/challenge is absurd for me to even consider. It’s in Massachusetts. I don’t “do” Massachusetts on this website. Yet, here I am. “Doing” Massachusetts. Sigh. Though, if you sully yourselves and click on the links or tags, please know I … [Read more...]

You Won’t Believe How Crappy This One Website Is!
Do you know what an aggregator/content farm is? They are hugely successful and tons of people still give traffic to this garbage! One in particular is "Only in Your State!" Almost every state has a dedicated site, and each one is as horrible as the next! How they work is really interesting! Let's focus on just … [Read more...]
ML60. The Moviegoer
”I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” “U2?” Modern Library # 60 1961, Walker Percy This is another one of those books that is more than it appears to be at first blush. Of course, as per usual, I’m not smart or literary enough to have picked up on all the existential stuff and nods to Kierkegaard and … [Read more...]
10 Years Old!
CTMQ-X 9/8/2006-9/8/2016 You know what? I think it's pretty darn cool that I've been at this CTMQ thing for ten years now. Nearly a quarter of my life... Twice the length of my son Calvin’s life. And the entirety of my older son Damian's life - and that's important because I cite Damian's birth and life as sort of … [Read more...]
CCMQ
Cape Cod Museum Quest 2014- I have no plans to ever expand on this idea for several reasons: I've spent an entirety of 20 days on Cape Cod in my life (at least 10 of which were spent entirely at a beach), I have no idea how many more days I'll spend on the Cape in my life, and getting to museums is not even … [Read more...]

... Thank You and Goodbye Have you ever had dozens of people to thank but find the process of thanking them all a bit daunting? That's the position my wife and I are in today. Fortunately, I have this platform on which to do my best. And even though I'm going to try my best, it's still not going to be nearly good … [Read more...]
EdHill
One of my best friends passed away last night. I could spend days writing "Ed Hill stories". I have a million. The world has lost a hilarious, gregarious, wonderful person. Ed Hill was a good man. I am very fortunate to have been his friend since the mid-90’s. And since I have the platform here, allow me a few … [Read more...]
TSTL 2015 – Afterword
The Sky's the Limit. Really. It is. If you are the rare reader who has actually read through all 14 Sky’s the Limit posts, you are probably expecting some long-winded paean to my son(s). And while that would be apropos, I’m going to try to not do that. First, I’d like to thank the DEEP and the State of … [Read more...]
CTMQ NYT SRSLY?
Yeah, SRSLY. And don't give me any of that TL;DR stuff either. Check it out. I must admit, this was pretty cool. … [Read more...]
CT Hops for Hope Brewfest!
There are a lot of good things going on in CTMQ-land in 2015. This here brand new site redesign, talks with publishing houses, some good press, my 300th CT museum visit... But all those things combined pale in comparison to my involvement with the inaugural Connecticut Hops for Hope Brewfest. I am proud to be closely … [Read more...]
