Well, the weather geeks got it wrong again today – at least partially. When I left the house this morning, they said it would be nice for most of the day, then cloud up later in the day. That would work for me – I’ll take my walk and grab […]

Spring has finally sprung around southeastern Connecticut. The leaves have all sprouted, and everthing is looking nice and green of late. Today I decided to take my walk around the Mill Cove area in Ledyard to take in some of the greenery, and of coursse use it as a backdrop […]
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 […]

Well, today started out to be a typical gloomy Monday. Slept through my alarm this morning, so I was a touch late into work. The weather was lousy, and my morning meeting went longer than normal. So I ended up getting out of the office for my fresh air walk […]
Well, I guess everything does happen for a reason. I couldn’t get out this morning to catch NR-2 heading south along the Norwich branch, so I figured I’d head out over lunch and try to catch them somewhere on the Northeast Corridor between New London and Old Saybrook. By the […]
I couldn’t pass up a beautiful morning, so I ducked out for a few minutes to try to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2. This time I headed a bit further north to the overlook on Poquetanuck Cove on the Ledyard/Preston town line. Not a bad view, and some sweet […]
