Sunday Series – Fireworks
The picture is of fireworks lighting up the night sky. And my mind went to a couple of places. Then there is also "Firework", which is a song. It was Katy Perry who sang it something like this... Continue Reading...

I remember this song playing on our old record player. I have always liked this song, especially since my Dad was often nearby when this song was playing. Continue Reading...
Goffstown Hockey 2021-2022: The Love Runs Out
Perhaps, as we walk quickly away from another season that our sons and daughters played, we should pause for perspective, all the focus on them, and for our enjoyment, the prices they paid. We all entered these overlapping eras the same way, from the back door, before dawn on a late November morn, but did you get through the months that followed unmarked by the passion?

People Are Dying
People that have impacted me, among many, many others, are dying. Maybe I even knew some of them. Continue Reading...
