It’s... Interesting Bakerwoods Farm, Ashford May 2017 Bakerwoods Farm permanently closed in 2021. Look, if you’ve been reading this site for a while you not only know the style in which I write, you also know my feelings about certain things.

Manchester: Complete!
Manchester: Complete! Cavey’s (Closed) Here is the CTMQ Guide to Manchester with my list and stories about everything I've done there!

Tschudin Chocolates & Confections
Tschop NoTsch Tschudin Chocolates & Confections, Middletown January 9, 2015 I have no idea how to pronounce Tschudin. Is the ‘T’ completely silent, or is it a whisper of a ‘T’ sound?

Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21).

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...]
The Best Way I Know How to Say…
... 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.
