Driving: Does Anyone Remember The Rules?
I’ve been driving for close to 45 years. I hesitate to say, “I’ve seen it all” because I’m afraid that, once I do, something new and outrageous will happen. I can’t say for sure but— do you think it’s getting worse? We can probably agree that cellphones have made driving worse. Now I’m not saying…

Congratulations Graduates! All Of Them!
Congratulations to all the graduates in our area! I’ve really enjoyed seeing the photos and reading the comments on social media. I saw a post on Facebook this week that made me think. It was a meme that said: “A big shoutout to all the kids who didn’t win an award, make honor roll, and…

Once The Weather Turns All Is Forgotten
I was thinking about this the other day, as I sat in the yard in the sun: Once the weather turns all is forgiven. In case you’re a new reader I’ll say it again… I hate March in New England. I’ve written a few blogs about this in the past. You get all excited because…

Enjoy Your Retirement Doc!
I can’t say I ever imagined having this problem in my life. It’s just something you never think of having to deal with. I guess I thought he’d always be there. I’ve had to find a new doctor. My Primary Care Physician (PCP) is retiring. I’ve been going to Dr. Drew Nahigyan for…..um…. a long…

No more ”Bitty” and ”Betty”
I remember when my daughter, Sarah, was pregnant with our grandson, Liam, she asked, “What do you want to be known as? What should Liam call you?” We thought for a minute and decided on “Grammy and Grampy.” We knew there were many possibilities but that’s what we chose. Then along came “Bitty and Betty!”…

Do You Believe In Signs?
I come to you from Virginia Beach again on this Sunday. Kind of feels like my home-away-from-home after spending so much time here with Liam a year ago. I’m happy to say that we seem to fall right back into place when I see him. I’ve left some clothes and toiletries here so it makes…

A Mother’s Day Thought
I believe I’ve told you before that I’m a fan of country music. Don’t scroll by! This might be interesting! Some people might claim that the stuff I listen to isn’t “true” country music. Tim McGraw, Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, etc. Maybe there’s too much of a rock influence? Who was it that said……

There’s Good News All Around
I met some nice people this week. In fact, as I thought about that today, I realized that I meet nice people just about every week. How about you? This week I did an interview for my next “Classroom Chronicle” show on New Bedford Cable Network. I was able to finally sit down with Cristina…

Do You Get Out Much? You Should!
I had such a good time the other night! My buddy Jim texted me Thursday to say that his brother couldn’t make it and he knew it was short notice but would I want to go the Providence Bruins the next night. At first I thought, “It’s been a busy week, maybe I should say…

Thoughts on Easter
Happy Easter to all of my friends who celebrate! This is the day we remember that Christ Is Risen! He defeated death and rose from the grave on that third day. I have often thought of what that must have been like: to witness the death of the man you had been following. I also…
