Book Review: Ring in the Dead

Book Review: Ring in the Dead

EAT It Ring in the Dead, J.A. Jance (2013) This novella is terrible. I honestly don't understand why the author, J.A. Jance, is popular and successful. Perhaps her long-form fiction is much better and these short serialized novellas just aren't her bag. I have no idea. Speaking of having no idea, you likely … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Killingly

Everything Killingly I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Killingly CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of … [Read more...]

Killingly’s Town Trails

Killingly’s Trails Killingly me softly... I find Killingly to be one of the most fascinating towns in Connecticut. I can’t really pinpoint why, exactly, but it has a lot to do with the fact it is, perhaps, the ultimate Swamp Yankee town. It has a hardscrabble “downtown” in Danielson, sure, but it has many … [Read more...]

Wyndham Land Trust Intro

Wyndham Land Trust Killingly, Plainfield, Pomfret, Putnam, Thompson, Woodstock The Wyndham Land Trust covers pretty much the whole of Windham County, and has holdings in more towns than I've listed above. But as you probably know, I'm only interested in those places at which I can hike - or at least cobble together … [Read more...]

Wolf Den Land Trust Intro

Wolf Den Land Trust Brooklyn, Hampton, Killingly, & Windham This is another one of those sort of weird, sort of difficult to parse land trusts in Connecticut. For one thing, Wolf Den is tightly aligned with an outfit called "The Eastern Connecticut Forest Landowners." Their shared vision and mission is good of … [Read more...]

118-(and counting)-Year-Old Lemon Tree

A Real Lemon Party Logee's Greenhouse, Danielson June 3, 2011 I feel badly for people who live in Danielson. Ever since The Karate Kid, everyone must say the name of the town like "Daniel-san!" And that must be annoying. Almost as annoying as the fact that Danielson isn't even a real town but is instead the … [Read more...]

Zip’s Diner

Zip’s Diner Dayville section of Killingly July 6, 2011 I realize that these very few and far between classic diner posts may just look like an excuse to post even more pictures of Damian. Eh, you may be right. So far I’m two for two in diner experiences as far as Damian being well-behaved and not having a … [Read more...]

Killingly Softly With Randomness Danielson section of Killingly (Google Map Location) February 2, 2008 Quick question for you locals: Where's Danielson? Where's Killingly? Trick question... Apparently, Danielson is actually not a real town, but rather a Borough of Killingly. So even though all the highway … [Read more...]
