What would compel me to get Hoang and Damian up and out the door early on a Saturday morning to drive all the way down to Guilford for what would amount to a 10 minute visitation?

“Angry God” Marker
In What State Was God in 1741? "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" Marker Enfield, 11/20/2009 I'll bet God was pretty darn angry when John Edwards sinned and committed adultery with Rielle Hunter a few years ago while his wife was nearly dying of cancer.

The Longmeadow Baby Jog
I Like How They Have a Border Fence Suffield/Enfield, CT/Longmeadow, MA border November 30, 2009 I made up the name of this border anomaly, but I figure I have the right to do so, since no one has bothered to do it before.

Sports, Theme & Adventure Parks, Carousels, Cruises, Trains, Trolleys, Fairs, Parades, Festivals, & Events This page is another catch-all; a listing of a bunch stuff around Connecticut that doesn’t really fit anywhere else.

Connecticut's Superlatives Connecticut has an amazing array of superlatives (firsts, oldests, tallests, largest, longests, onlies, and smallests) to its credit.

Art Trail Viewpoint: Kent Falls
Kent Falls Viewpoint CT Art Trail Viewpoint Kent Falls State Park, Kent, November 2009 Here's the weird thing about this Connecticut Art Viewpoint Trail, side project of the Connecticut Art Trail: The chosen sites, while beautiful, don't all apparently directly translate to actual impressionist paintings from … [Read more...]
West Cornwall Covered Bridge

Frog Rock (Cornwall)
The Other Frog Rock Frog Rock, Cornwall November 29, 2009 Eh. Since I started writing about other roadside painted rock animals, I guess I have to continue. Though, I must admit, some of the stories behind some of the rocks are pretty cool. Notably, the much cooler Frog Rock in Eastford a page which gets an … [Read more...]
