Gotta Get Ready!
So I’m into this “Grandpa in training” stuff. If you didn’t read it last week, my daughter Sarah and my son-in-law Steven are expecting a baby in September. We don’t know yet if it’s a boy or a girl and yes, I guess everyone likes to know that now. I wrote the other day how…

A NICE Thing About March
I had a great day yesterday as Priscilla and I took the dogs to Fort Taber. I watched the news Friday night. I usually watch Channel 4, WBZ, and I like their meteorologist Eric Fisher. He seems to have a good track record with New England weather. He said Saturday would be the best day…

The Month of March
This year I’m going to try. I’m really going to try. This year I’m going to try and like March. I’ve never been much of a fan of the month of March. It’s such a tease. You think we’re through with winter and the threat of snow and then BAM! Three or four inches or…

Cheering Down South
Greetings from Virginia Beach! Yes I’m still here as my daughter and son-in-law are on a much needed vacation in Disney World. They have scouted it out and planned their day so they will be ready for kick off tonight. I’ve tried but I just don’t see the Super Bowl hype down here. True the…

Waiting for the Game
This is one of those odd Sunday’s where we wake up but have hours to wait before the Patriots game. I am making out my list of things to do before we finally get to the game. There has been so much hype for this game since the Patriots won last Sunday. First we had…

Fighting the Winter Blues
How are you holding up my friend? This can be a difficult time of year for some folks, I feel a bit of it myself. The weather is colder, the holidays have passed and you might be struggling with those new year’s resolutions. I read something this week that said most people give up on…

“Why so mad?”
Why is everyone so mad? I ask this because it’s only been a few days since the holiday season and I’ve heard at least three stories that have me wondering. My daughter Sarah was in line at a Chipotle waiting for her order when a woman came storming back into the restaurant and proceeded to…
