The Beginning, Again
It’s that day again. On August 30, 2014 I began regularly posting in this spot, resurrecting a blog that had had one entry and then been temporarily abandoned. It is amazing I remembered the password. As I do every August 30, I’m going to look back and share some thoughts from that 2014 post, where […]
Technological Challenges
This is not the post I had scheduled for today. Which has me mildly annoyed, as I had some pictures I wanted to share today. I think I mentioned I was traveling on business these days. In a perfect world I would have planned ahead and had all the posts for the time period written […]
Past Times Present
It has been a year, and I am missing my friend Bruce La Rochelle. He died one year ago today of smoking related cancer. We never did say goodbye. Bruce was the one who encouraged me to start this blog. I had been a somewhat regular contributor to his. He chose not to tell me […]
2019 Survey Results – II
In a wild fit of self-indulgence, today more results and analysis from our 2019 readers poll. Hopefully this will give a few hints as to what to expect here in the future. The blog title says it all really, “Random Thoughts From Lorne.” If I was looking for internet fame and fortune, I would choose […]
2019 Survey Results – I
No cat videos. And I don’t know where the car came from. Well, in honesty, no-one mentioned cat videos, but I figure you have YouTube for that. And my daughter’s cat does have fans, though not among people who know the beast. For ten days I asked you for feedback on this blog. I guess […]
Don’t You Love Computers?
Today’s post is photo dependent – and for some reason the photos aren’t uploading to this site. So instead of some pictures of a picturesque town you’ve never heard of before, you instead get this mini-rant. How do I know you’ve never heard of the town? I’m just guessing – we discovered it be accident […]
What I Wanted To Say Was…
Sometimes I just don’t know where my mind is going. Today I will be disciplined, I promise. I knew what I wanted to say when I sat down to write a post for January 1, New Year’s Day. However, what I typed was completely different. Given that it is a new year, I wanted to […]
Time Passes So Quickly!
More than a thousand posts later the ideas keep on coming. It was August 30, three years ago today, that I began regular posts here. Today I’m going to quote some of that very first post (in italics) and add some random thoughts that have occurred to me as we have wandered together. Why did […]
Goodbye 2016
Here we are at the end of the year. Traditionally a time for reflection, with a vow to do better as the clock strikes midnight. How was your 2016? As bad as all the online pundits are proclaiming it? Or, when you reflect honestly, pretty much like every year, a mixture of good and bad. […]
The Results Are In – II
Trying to be responsive to reader interests has resulted in a couple of new features here. If you are a regular reader you will have noticed that the sunrise is gone from the top of the page. One of the suggestions in my recent reader survey was that I vary the pictures I use as […]
