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...

Welcome to the New CTMQ
Welcome to the new CTMQ. Don't be scared. I’ll try to keep this as brief as I can. A complete overhaul of the site was needed ever since mobile devices came onto the scene. The old site used a custom template designed in 2006. It was a beautiful thing back then. I came to love it and the way I built it. It was … [Read more...]
CTMQ Dubious Claims List
Really? Come on now. CTMQ Dubious Claims List I should have started this page years ago. After all, I’ve come across several claims about things in Connecticut being the first or oldest or largest or some other superlative that have struck me as dubious at best. Some of these bold claims I love to seek out and … [Read more...]
2012 Top Comments
CTMQ Gets Comments Every TV channel, website, magazine and blog does at least one year-end List at the end of the year. I never have before, but in an effort to take my mind off of Newtown without doing much heavy-lifting, I thought I’d put one together. I get a lot of really, really great comments. I’m not … [Read more...]
Newtown
Like everyone, I have been in a near-constant state of shock and stupor since 26 women and children were murdered in Newtown three days ago. There is so much to say, yet no way to say any of it as well as I'd wish. There is so much to assess and rectify, yet no one knows where, or how, to begin. For me, writing … [Read more...]
South Florida: 2010
Everglades and South Beach April 20-23, 2010 Oh look! Hoang and I went to South Beach again. My parents were awesome for watching Damian for a few days in Delaware and we flew out of Philly for a few days in the sun. Here are 19 pictures. … [Read more...]
