Wowie Maui, Hawaii May 2005 Exactly two years after our honeymoon to Hawaii (Kauai, Big Island, Oahu), Hoang's performance at work earned her a trip to Maui. Yes folks, your generous Aetna premiums in the early to mid 2000's helped the company pay for a couple hundred or so top performers and their spouses to stay … [Read more...]

Seabury Wildwood Trails
Keeping Bloomfield in Control Seabury Wildwood Trails, Bloomfield April 2015 & March 2020 You won't believe this, but this property took me three visits to complete all of its trails. Three! Add a fourth visit to check out the "Large-scale Wintonbury Flying Club Fly-in" and I'm basically a Seabury regular. … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Warren
Everything Warren 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” Warren CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of … [Read more...]
Book Review: Traveler’s Guide to Western New England and the CT River Valley
No One Cares About the Gold Coast Anyway Traveler's Guide to Western New England and the CT River Valley Tim Mulligan, 1994 This review completely ignores the non-Connecticut portion of the book. It is absurd to review a travel guide from 1994 for all the obvious reasons. This book was published just before … [Read more...]

The Women (2008)
Nope The Women, 2008 When I began formalizing my list of Connecticut movies, I had to leave off a ton of pre-1950 or so options - simply because there's no way I can find them to watch. You'd probably be surprised at how many old movies take place in Connecticut. The Women is a poorly conceived 2008 remake … [Read more...]
High Nine Brewing
High Nine at High Noon High Nine Brewing, Deep River January 2020 “You must be high.” Why? “Because you continue to go to every podunk hole-in-the-wall corrugated steel box brewery with sloppily hung signage in Connecticut, even though every one of them is sort of the same place now, just in different … [Read more...]
The Quiet (2005)
Shhhhh The Quiet, 2005 You’ve likely never seen The Quiet, nor have you likely even heard of it. It did have a national theater release and it wasn’t universally panned, but The Quiet was just a quiet little movie.
