    It Keeps Me Young

    Someone asked recently why I still do high school sports. It’s a fair question since I’m not as young as I used to be, my children have all graduated and it’s a bit of a hike walking around some of these campuses. The short answer is the same thing I hear from some “veteran” coaches:…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I gotta tell you, I am really enjoying the cooler weather and Baxter is too. It’s nice to have the windows open. The weather box in the window is okay but the fresh air smells a whole lot better. It’s nice to go for a walk too because…

    Watching The Kids Play

    I had fun this weekend watching the Little League World Series on television. It brought back memories of when my boys played Little League. I remembered the Little League rules about pitch counts and making sure everybody got in a game. It was confusing to make sure your bench players got 1 at bat and…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I think I need a hobby. I was thinking about this because Grampy was saying he needs a hobby. I need one because I was thinking the other day how I like to sleep, then eat, then sleep and eat. I guess as I get older I’m…

    If You’ve Never Done It Before – Do It!

    We had a nice day yesterday as we finally made it to the Huttleston Marketplace outside Fairhaven High School. I had been meaning to make it their several times this summer but something always seemed to come up. While we were there I noticed that the Visitor’s Center and Museum was open. I’ve lived in…

    I really think Grammy is to blame. Really. If it didn’t taste so good I wouldn’t keep trying to get it. Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Did you get in trouble too this week? Yeah. I did. The other day Grampy was having the leftover pasta salad for lunch. Grammy makes a great…

    It Just Takes Confidence

    I was talking with a friend the other day who was complimenting his wife’s cooking. He said if he was cooking he would have called for pizza and maybe picked up a few chicken nuggets. I used to be that way. My wife discovered, to her disbelief, that my mom had done everything for we…

    Does anyone know how I can install a doggie door? Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Yeah I was wondering how to put in a doggie door because I figured I could help out Grampy. It seems every time he sits down, I want to go out. That’s when I usually hear him from…

    Is It Just Me Or Is It LOUD?

    Priscilla and I went out to dinner last night. It’s something that we should do more often but for some reason we don’t. Either the schedule gets full or it’s just easier to throw something together at home. We went to Ella’s in Wareham. I almost didn’t want to name it because I’m so used…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Guess what? Last week was New Food Day! I love New Food Day! That’s when me or Baxter need a new bag of food. Grammy and Grampy keep our food in two big containers in the cabinet but every now and then those containers get empty. It’s a…
