Everyone's Wild About Harry's 104 Broadway (Route 85), Colchester August 2009 Although I haven't had but two burgers in about ten years (both for the purposes of this website), I think I still have a pretty good idea of what makes a delicious one. However, my lack of beef consumption certainly hampers my ability … [Read more...]
130. Buz Russell’s Farm and Rural Life Museum
Let's Generate some Buz For This Museum Woodbury (Google Maps Location) July 24, 2009 I always feel cheap when the title pun is so easy. Oh well, I'll get over it. What I'll never get over is how many museums there are in Connecticut and that feeling of elation I still get when discovering ones I didn't know … [Read more...]
Cornell Mountain
Cornell Mountain, 3860 Feet August 27, 2009 ~11 miles solo via Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide Trail from the west # 9 on the Catskills 3500 List I realize it is kind of silly to do 39 separate blog entries for the Catskill 3500 Club (since these peaks will be bagged on far less than 39 separate hikes), but that's how … [Read more...]
Doughnuts at Dottie’s Diner
Dunkin' Donuts is Ruined Forevermore Dottie's Diner, 787 Main St South, Woodbury This place has redecorated in way that tells me that my family is not welcome at Dottie's Diner. So I will never go here again. 2016 Update I love Dottie's Diner. After my personal discovery of it in 2009, I have stopped … [Read more...]
Museum Visits
This website began as Connecticut MuseumQuest in 2006 and only later became CTMQ. Regardless, museums were and are the core of what I do. And fortunately for all of us, Connecticut has a ton of museums - two tons if you define them loosely like I do. Also, see the CTMQ Town Guides: everything to do in the state … [Read more...]
138. Hartford Medical Society Historical Library
Make No Bones About It... It's Back! Farmington (Google Maps Location) September 10, 2009 The waffling is over. I'm giving this place its own pedestal to stand on as a separate museum visit. Sure, the collection is pretty much a scaled down version of a previously visited museum, but I think it's important to … [Read more...]
Canfield Corner Pharmacy
Marilyn Monroe... And Me Canfield Corner Pharmacy, Woodbury I had some grand romantic idea to visit all the authentic soda fountain pharmacies left in Connecticut. I figure there can only be a few left, but I'm left with the problem of finding them. I knew about this one in Woodbury from some book I'd read, but … [Read more...]
SVP Trails: The Farm Trails
Sunny Valley Preserve Farm & Nature Trails 3 Trails, ~ 2.5 Miles total, solo July 13, 2009 I've gotten a bit of grief for not exploring Litchfield County enough yet, now three years into this CTMQ adventure. While not necessarily true, I did notice I've not hiked a great deal in an area with some great hiking. … [Read more...]

Orlando, Florida
Orlando BOOM Orlando, Florida July 2005 We went to Orlando over July 4th weekend with Hoang's family, including her brother and his kids. It was hot and Epcot was weak, but we had fun and even spent 12 hours driving to the Florida highpoint and back (in lieu of the Magic Kingdom. We win.) In retrospect, Epcot … [Read more...]
