CT Hops for Hope Spotlight 2 Fat Orange Cat Brew Co, East Hampton An amazing thing is happening in unlikely place. In the woods on a residential street in a sparsely populated town at a residence, tiny batches of highly sought-after IPAs (and other styles) are being brewed and sold. It is rustic, homey, funky, … [Read more...]

CT H4H: Back East Brewing
CT Hops for Hope Spotlight 1 Back East Brewing, Bloomfield What better way to start this series of short posts on CT Hops for Hope breweries, sponsors, and vendors than with the brewery that just had three of their beers place in DRAFT Magazine’s blindly tasted, expertly paneled “Top 50 IPAs in America.” Back East … [Read more...]
CT Hops for Hope is Back!
Hoping... Saturday September 2nd at Falcon Field New Britain, Connecticut CT Hops for Hope Buy Tickets! Donate! When I started CTMQ almost 11 years ago, I really had no clue as to what it would become.

Massport to Nachursetts: Wellfleet Bay
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21). Regardless, I imagine this one at Wellfleet Bay has to be one of the best. The Nature Center is large, modern, informative, and quite impressive. And the trails out to the … [Read more...]
Massport to Nachursetts: Long Pasture
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Long Pasture, Barnstable August 2016 The little center in Barnstable on the western end of Cape Cod is, I think, the newest of the Mass Audubon Centers. It's in a house that has been converted to... well, most of it appears to still be a house, but the living room is now a … [Read more...]
Mass Audubon Passport to Nature
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...]
