Hozier is the Worst Church Farm Preserve, Ashford & Mansfield April 2017 This is a Joshua's Trust property. About that title just above... Sorry. I can’t help it.

222. The Cushing Center & Yale Medical Library
Zombie Apocalypse Buffet New Haven (Google Maps location) October 2011 & April 2019 I always promised/threatened to bring my son Calvin here someday.

Slip Silpin’ Away West Hartford (Google Maps location) October 4, 2011 Every time I visit an art gallery for CTMQ purposes, I promise myself to write about it before the exhibition ends.
