Well, I was in an all-day meeting/workshop today, so I had to forego my walk alltogether. Oh, well, I guess I can miss one day here & there. I’ve got an active weekend planned, so I’m sure I’ll make up for it. But after work, I figured I’d head to […]
Well, due to other commitments, I couldn’t make it out for my normal AM walk today. So I figured some stairs may be in order instead, so I opted to eat my lunch on the road, and head to the Old Saybrook Amtrak station for lunch. I was hoping to […]
Well, today things were different – nothing fell into place. Usually my timing is pretty good trying to tie my walk and Providence & Worcester train NR-2 together. No such luck today, though. But I did get a little walk in, and also caught a pair of Amtrak regionals crossing […]

Well today was a bit busy at work, so I didn’t get a chance to head out at my normal time for my walk. It would have to wait until after lunch, and even then, it would have to be shorter than normal. I figured that, despite the harsh midday […]
From sunny and warm on Tuesday, to cloudy rainy and dreary yesterday and back to sunny and nice today. Gotta love New England Weather – paraphrasing the immortal words of Mark Twain, if you don’t like it, wait a minute. So I headed out for my walk at the normal […]
