I was recently down in the area of Freehold, NJ, and decided to take a look around. Part of it was some real estate research – there were some affordable homes on the market (seen on Zillow), and Freehold is not far from the beach, but I had never been there before and thought I’d … Read more
I’ve had some strange experiences related to the US Mail, or rather the United States Postal Service. But today’s mail brought me an example of the complete disarray and mysteriously unreliable service of the United States Postal Service. In my mailbox today was a letter addressed to my mother with a yellow sticker saying “undeliverable … Read more
I was walking around a Belleville (NJ) neighborhood, when I walked by this church and did a double-take. The white shape in that window, it seemed to have a suggestive shape.

My son contacted me yesterday to ask if I was seeing the double rainbow outside after a long afternoon of heavy rains.

The weather was questionable (chance of rain), so I wanted an adventure that had some possibilities of being inside and/or outside. I’ve been exploring Hudson River towns in recent months, … Read more
I was walking in Glen Ridge, NJ recently after a light rainfall, and found myself noticing interesting images on the sidewalks. I lived in Glen Ridge for about 17 years, and during the time I lived there, I would notice things on the sidewalks on a regular basis while walking my dogs. What makes the … Read more
I have a habit of seeing things out in the world and imagining them as art in a different context. Today I was walking through a neighborhood in Belleville NJ, and saw these dirty, old and torn sofa cushions placed on the curbside for garbage pick-up. I can’t say I’m out looking at living room … Read more
