Looking Back

What follows here is my second post on this site, from August 30, 2014. I had no thoughts then about continuing for more than a few weeks. It has been fun, more fun than I would have expected. I want to thank you for reading and being part of this journey. Back then I didn’t […]

Flashback Friday

Today is August 30, 2024. On August 30, 2014 I began posting regularly in this space. More than 3,000 post later I am wondering why I am doing this. Is it ego, boredom, or is there value in what I share. Whichever it is, I’m still having fun, as long as I don’t put too […]

Writer’s Block?

It’s Monday and as I looked over a couple of dozen half-finished posts, I couldn’t decide what should be in this space today. I’m out of excuses I was going to say I have a bad case of writer’s block, but the fact that I can string these words together would seem to contradict that. There […]

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 […]

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 […]

Another Year Ends…

I feel as if I should be marking the end of 2022 here somehow, but I am not sure exactly how. For many people it has been a year best forgotten quickly. The COVID -19 pandemic seems to drag on, though at least the panic part seems to have died down as we have come […]

A Fresh Start

This post from 2014 wasn’t the first time I had posted in this space, but it was a beginning after a false start. Since August 30, 2014 I have posted almost 2,700 times in this space. I’m not sure oif tehre is any way of measuring, but that is probably more than a million words. […]

That Time of Year

I’m going to be a little self-indulgent today and talk about me. And you. And our time together. As August winds down, it is anniversary time here at Random Thoughts From Lorne. If I had been thinking, I would have given this blog a better name. Hindsight is always, as the cliche goes, 20-20. According […]

Down The Mental Rabbit Hole

I used to follow a blog where the author ran out of things to say. Actually, I still follow it, but I realized yesterday that it must be at least six months, maybe a year, since the last post. (I just checked – more than a year.) I suppose it is possible he died. At least […]

Welcome to 2020!

Happy New Year! Despite what you may have read elsewhere, it is not the first day of a new decade. That comes on January 1, 2021. I have no idea how or when the idea started that decades begin with zero. I guess if enough people accept something wrong as true, it magically becomes true. […]
