My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
So, an innocent conversation with friends last year, about the possibility of having raised garden beds and whether or not they could place one on the side of a hill, turned into a woodworking project that has continued this year. It all started with manufacturing the sides and ends by cutting and combining boards to get walls that were 12" deep. Then some pilot holes, support for the corners, and Continue Reading...
It was three weeks ago now, and in my mind, it went something a little bit like this. As the maestro held his baton high, coercing the grand finale in all of its glory, the final note played. Somewhere between stunned and proud, the maestro bowed his head and turned to face the masses and the feedback they levied on this collective piece of work. And those who witnessed it, they rose in unison to Continue Reading...

Goffstown ended their spectacular regular season in Salem against a very strong Windham Jaguars team on Saturday night. Despite dropping their final two contests, the Grizzlies did win 14 games in the regular season for the first time in their program's history. Windham jumped out to a 4-0 lead and the hole was too deep for the Grizzlies to climb out of and overcome, but that's not the whole Continue Reading...
I have been watching the Olympics since I can remember. The first games I vaguely remember were the 1972 games. There have been more memorable moments than I could probably list. Then... ...Yesterday morning, I was watching Olympic Coverage on NBC when this unfolded. I literally had a lump in my throat and tears running down my face.

Last night out at Keene Ice, the Keene Blackbirds hosted the Goffstown Grizzlies on Keene's Senior Night. It was NH Hockey's Division II #1 vs. #2 in Continue Reading...
