Play Well August 2018 I celebrated my 100th Connecticut museum with cake at home with family. 200 was an overnight at Foxwoods. 300? The Upscale Bernard's restaurant in Ridgefield. How would I ever outdo myself at 400? Oh, I know! At work! How exciting. I thought it would be kind of neat. I worked at … [Read more...]
Stephen Woods Lane
Thank you! Stephen Woods Lane, Durham I always find it fascinating when someone posts (yet another) “best road names in Connecticut” post on Reddit or Facebook. It warms my heart to learn that people really do love wacky road names. I’ve maintained my list for years and I think I’ve got a fantastic list to “visit” … [Read more...]
300th Museum Visit Celebration!
Trois Cent à Bernards September 2015 When I think back to the naïve beginnings of CTMQ back in the 2006-07 timeframe, I never thought I’d visit 300 museums in little ol’ Connecticut, the third smallest state in the country.

10 Years Old!
CTMQ-X 9/8/2006-9/8/2016 You know what? I think it's pretty darn cool that I've been at this CTMQ thing for ten years now. Nearly a quarter of my life... Twice the length of my son Calvin’s life.

Welcome to the new CTMQ. Don't be scared. I’ll try to keep this as brief as I can. A complete overhaul of the site was needed ever since mobile devices came onto the scene. The old site used a custom template designed in 2006. It was a beautiful thing back then. I came to love it and the way I built it. It was … [Read more...]
200th Museum Visit Celebration!
Q... CTMQ January 2011 Remember back on my 100th Museum celebration post how I said that I wouldn’t revisit the idea for a while, like maybe at 250 or halfway or something? Of course you do, because you – yes, you – read every single thing I ever post on CTMQ. And I love you for it. The funny thing is, … [Read more...]
100th Museum Visit Celebration!
The Century Mark April 2009 Note: Since originally writing this page, I've found many, many more museums. So while I love the cake below, the math involved is terribly incorrect! In recognition of my 100th Connecticut museum visit, I'll spare you my boring yammerings about the cultural importance of museums. … [Read more...]
