West Side Arena, Manchester, NH. Saturday, February 18, 2017. Goffstown at Merrimack, 500pm. Merrimack and Goffstown are not too fond of one another. At least the high school hockey teams from these two towns tend to show much disdain toward each other. For the third straight meeting between these two teams, Goffstown was in a position of having to pull their goaltender. And for the third Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 9 at Alvirne 2
Skate 3, Tyngsboro, MA. Wednesday, February 15, 2017. Goffstown at Alvirne, 550pm. Maybe a gaffe; a faux pas, as it were. See, the game sheet last night read: Home Team: Alvirne. Visiting Team: Goofstown. I am sure it was an honest mistake, but then so were the 9 goals the Grizzlies put on that same score sheet. I doubt this fact was brought to anyone's attention prior to the game as Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 5 v. Belmont-Gilford 3
Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH. Tuesday, February 14, 2017. Goffstown v. Belmont-Gilford, 700pm. Margin: a gap, an amount by which a thing is won, or falls short. The margin tonight, I thought was minimal, when looking at the full 45 minutes of play. Belmont-Gilford has played in the last two Division III State Championship games, winning in 2015. This year, they lost the Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 3 v. Keene 8
Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH. Wednesday, February 8, 2017. Goffstown v. Keene, 730pm. Misery and gloom are associated with distress and anxiety. And these emotions could have played major roles in tonight's home game against the undefeated Keene Blackbirds. Especially when Keene scored six unanswered goals over a span of 17 minutes. But the Grizzlies kept skating. They Continue Reading...

Arthur Tsetsilas Tonight, I made the short drive to Londonderry, NH. I drove through familiar neighborhoods on my way to the funeral home. Some of the roads I drove on, weren't even there when I was growing up in Londonderry. Unfortunately, I am all too familiar with this funeral home. This past April, I stood in the same room that I was in tonight, in front of the gathering, in tears, Continue Reading...

To Lay Me Down
Some days go by and my thoughts race and erase with the pace of fleeting time. Then there are days like today when I see things that are no longer in front of my eyes. Continue Reading...
