Easy morning

Breakfast plate with hash browns with an orange hot sauce, lots of raw jalapeños, sautéed onions, vegan sausage links, and eggs with chili powder, red pepper flakes, and allspice on them

My local place. An old fire house.

An antique fire truck with multiple tables for customers at my hometown brewery. Good beer, great people.

I want to pet the dog

Cool things in Greece

UConn is the villain in so many teams’ lore and I love that for us.

Happy Pi Day yo. Put some respect on my alma mater’s name-multiple decimal places of pi are actually part of the WPI fight song.

A baked pie with golden brown edges, a berry filling, and a large “Pi” symbol cutout from the middle of the crust. The first 19 decimal places of pi are baked around the edge of the crust. I went to a nerdy engineering college so Pi is actually part of our school fight song!

Snow day

Oh hey, little friends!

Physics fun-Friction lab examining static friction vs. kinetic friction. Yay science!

Science experiment equipment: a data logger tablet with a graph showing the amount of friction encountered when pulling a weighted block across a table. Included in the picture is the force sensor used to collect the data.

Four Christmas movies to know me by

Ebenezer Scrooge and his old partner Jacob Marley from Mickey’s A Christmas Carol.

Jack Skellington with Christmas lights lined up with his eye sockets from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Herbie (who wants to be a dentist) and Rudolph from the 1964 stop motion classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Cousin Eddy in a bathrobe outside holding up a cheap beer as he empties his RV toilet into the neighborhood storm sewer.

I’m not too surprised by this. Which I guess makes sense-I was in the room when it happened, after all

My Top 5 played artists for 2025: Rush, Darren Kiely, Kenny Chesney, Metallica, Taylor Swift

Love our local csa-great food grown right in our community! And i love the baked-in honor system: “Grab 8 ears of corn on the way out”, “Get 3 pounds of squash yourself, the scale is over there.” It’s a beautiful thing.

Variety of fresh produce from a local csa: purple egg plant, green bell peppers and broccoli, eggs, cantaloupe, blueberries, and corn.

They took their time this summer but our flowers are popping now

Purple Russian sage, pink cone flowers, and black eyed susan flowers in full bloom with a road in the background. The bumble bees LOVE the Russian sage!

White flowers with petals amidst greenery.

Purple flowers that rise vertically amidst greenery.

Converting part of our yard to a meadow-love the way the tall grass sways and sighs in the breeze and the burst of color where the flowers pop up.

Wrapping up my school year….I’m ready for a break, but it’s always hard to say good bye to my Seniors. I have so many amazing kids!

I hope the frustration passes soon and that it will lead to some positives. My dog Jasper is sending you sloppy dog kisses

Moody sky over Loch Ness. Definitely want to return Scotland!

Urquhart Castle ruins on the edge of Loch Ness. There are some stormy looking clouds overhead. No Loch Ness monster visible in THIS picture….

Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland-my version of a beach vacation

Man sitting on the rocks at Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. This location is famous for its distinctive hexagonal rocks, not for the nobody in the picture.

The view from the top of the William Wallace monument. Amazing views-clip does not include the poor guy who lost his hat to the wind, though, which apparently demanded a tribute

CTinthehouse@ctinthehouse· Apr 6

Oh yeah!

UConn Women’s basketball team members aligned in a circle for a picture. They just won their 12th national championship.

Lucky enough to have coached a couple of these young men when they were in high school. This program does things the right way.

Springfield College football team gathered around the Head Coach. The team finished their season ranked 5th nationally.

Bathroom at my school. I mean, it’s inclusive with the bilingual labels, and look at that vote distribution
