One Last Time…

I took a couple of days off from this space for some family activities and getting caught up on a few things. I felt mildly guilty, but only mildly. Blogging is something I do for fun. That I usually manage to post daily is an indication that I’m enjoying the experience. It is in the […]

How Frustrating!

Do you play word games? Do you usually solve them? The past couple of years I have done Wordle almost daily. My daughter first discovered it and soon the game became a matter of friendly family competition to see which of us was better at solving the daily puzzle. (For the record, we usually took […]

Blogging a Dead Horse?

It’s late Saturday in my time zone, and I haven’t posted yet today. So a reminder of the reader survey seems appropriate.

One Of Those Days

As I write this, today’s post has been “saving” for about half an hour. Except it isn’t really, I don’t think. It’s lost somewhere in cyberspace. Maybe it will show up. If it does, I know there’s a typo. I was about to fix it once I had saved what I had so far, and […]

Time to Calm Down

Today’s post was going to be a travel post, but I’ve postponed it. Figure I should wait until I’m sure the trip is over before blasting the airlines involved. As a result you get another opportunity today to fill in the reader survey. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to take part – it will […]

Feedback Time

Every September I think about asking for your input on what you read here. Most years I just think about it, this year I’m actually asking. The last time I did a poll like this was four years ago, and the webpage interface has changed since that time. I’m hoping I’ve created something that will […]

The Job

Whenever I visit a community I check out the local newspapers, at least if they are published in a language I understand. With a journalism background, I’m naturally curious. I don’t just read the news coverage but also check out the advertising. Last month, while in Maine, I came across a job advertisement in the […]

Another Milestone

Happy birthday to us. Random Thoughts From Lorne starts its tenth year today, more or less. While I did publish a post in 2011, I always think of September first as the startup date, even though it was actually August 30. . I must admit though,  I am surprised to be still in this space. […]

Supermoon Risen

More photos taken of the supermoon when I was on vacation in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, earlier this month. If you can, check out tonight’s moonrise.

Supermoon Rising

There are four of them in 2023, with the next one Wednesday night, the second supermoon this month. The last time there were two supermoons in a month was in 2018. The next time will be in 2037. A supermoon is perhaps a misnomer. The moon is the same one we always have, it is […]
