Everything Stamford I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Stamford CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]

Hawk Hill Farm
Hawk the Herald Angels Sing Hawk Hill Farm, ~1 mile, Bloomfield April 2020 I just love the fact that there are so many Bloomfield hikes. I don't really know what the collective thought about Bloomfield is, but I'd guess it has nothing to do with all the available trails to hike. Even though part of Talcott … [Read more...]

The Lifeguard (2013)
Zero Life The Lifeguard, 2013 "The Lifeguard is a painfully dull (alleged) drama utterly lacking in originality or self-awareness," said Jordan Hoffman of Film.com who gave the film a 2.7/10. I should have listened to Jordan Hoffman. I like Kristen Bell. She seems like a good egg, and I really love "The Good … [Read more...]

LaSalette Open Space
On a Mission LaSalette Open Space, Bloomfield July 2019 & April 2020 I've seen this place called LaSalette Park as much as LaSalette Open Space. Get it together Bloomfield. The property bumps up against the Wintonbury Land Trust's Hawk Hill Farm property and the maps of both sort of bleed over into each other. Get … [Read more...]
Rising Star (2013)
A Long Walk... Rising Star, 2013 This movie is no longer available on YouTube. You lose. Rising Star is not a good movie. And yet... And yet it is the exact type of movie for which I created my massive "Connecticut Movies" list. Therefore, I love it. I love its earnestness and its commitment to Hartford. And … [Read more...]

Bates Nature Trail at Herrick Park
Mastering Bates Herrick Park, Bolton April 2020 I keep an ongoing list of CTMQ stuff for each town that none of you can see. On Bolton's list, I had something like, "a trail at Herrick park." Then when I put the Bolton Town Guide together, I searched the internet high and low for confirmation that there was a … [Read more...]
BLT: Blackledge Marsh
Cul-de-Quick Blackledge Marsh, Bolton April 2020 When I decide to "attack" a town's trail system, I make a little game out of it. Look at the list of trails, sort out where they are and how many I can do in one trip, and make a plan. However, when I have Calvin with me, I must sometimes change things on the … [Read more...]
