For those of you who grew up in the 60’s, there was but a lonely few options for preserving ones memories. There was the “still photo”, via actual film with no digital files. There was a second film option that produced a small re-creation that needed an additional view projector called “slides.” The third option […]

Mission: Improbable

As I gazed out my dual-paned window I quickly noticed that the dull, burnt sienna shades of our belated winter months had rapidly begun to change. Almost everywhere I surveyed there were variations of jade, emerald, pea-green and olive hues. Artistic and beautiful. I couldn’t stop looking and admiring the metamorphose. To everything there is […]

Greetings to those who’ve been reading my various ramblings. I’m writing this to explain my absence. I’ve been on ‘holiday’ to the west coast. My life partner, Tina, and I drove 6400 miles in our slightly outdated, family van. Frankly, we’re both proud of the old Oldsmobile and may keep it for as long as […]

Wardrobe Challenged Agent

Bond. James Bond. Martini, shaken … not stirred. Great quotes from 007. 007 was James Bond’s codename when he was a spy for the SIS, which stands for the British Secret Intelligence Service. A master clandestine covert agent for MI6 (military intelligence section 6) and the epitome of what one calls a “Secret/Special Agent.” Who […]

The day after. The hangover begins. The NCAA tournament has concluded for another year. Everyone’s brackets have been tossed into the recyclable bin and only a token few have an extra sawbuck to show for it. Fun though. However, does anyone else have a sour taste in their mouths? I mean, The University of Connecticut […]

Golf-A Good Walk Spoiled (thanks to John Feinstein)

Golf … a gentleman’s game. Really? Says who? I grew up running, jumping, hiding, climbing, anything that included the wet act of sweating. I’m not sure if I actually enjoyed the dampness or did I just like the physical activity? I imagine that it was the latter but one never knows. Sports was all I […]

Hey, how’s it going? Have you been keeping up to date with the NCAA Mens Tourney? If you’re anything like me, you really have had no choice. I’m a sports fan. I love it. It’s cool because of the way we’ve been able to get EVERYONE involved in the tourney. Not me, exactly but with having […]

I have two sons. Jason and Aaron. Great kids. Different personalities each. Similar to their dad in some ways and yet extremely different in many. Thank goodness. As all family members endure, our common ground stems from the familiarity of being together and the foundation we, as parents, thrust upon them from the moment they […]

Ooops … my apologies

Reiny here. I have no excuses but have come to realize that I’m actually more talented at deleting an 1800+ new post than I am at writing one. I’ll dig out my ouigi board and attempt to conjure up what I have now lost. Fortunately I still have 700 words down. Lucky for you this […]

Greetings to all of you who have not only found my little web site, but also who have taken the time to read some of my pieces. When I decided to begin this unknown trek into the world of blogging, (with considerable assistance from people ‘in the know’) I certainly wasn’t sure on just how […]
