Happy Mother's Day Mom! One night a couple of months ago, I was tired and my mind was overflowing. I needed at least a little downtime and some quiet. I sat alone at my keyboard, and I felt a poem, a rhythm, that I needed to capture. Eventually I turned on some music and I came across this instrumental that I have grown to thoroughly enjoy. To me, this tune playing and the flow of words Continue Reading...
Pray Pastor
Pray pastor, please continue to pray, so I don’t have to raise my head or open my eyes. I wish not to wipe my eyes, nor do I care to address the shortness of breath accompanied with the quiet sobs rippling through me. For all the pain and suffering that surrounds me, I am okay here, safely seeking refuge in this old, friendly church. If this moment could just last forever, maybe I could return to Continue Reading...
Walking in the Woods
I love walking in the woods. Although I don't make the time to explore the woods as often as I would like to, I am always fascinated by the things I see, hear, and experience in the woods when I do. I took a few pictures the other day while I wandered in the woods, and here are a few photos that I am Continue Reading...
Some Roads Must Remain Open
A little snow doesn't stop us; at least, not for very long. Our 14 year-old was on the ice, Bruins game on the radio, the twins were playing in (as well as eating) the snow, and I was taking care of the fire. The stars were bright in the clear winter sky, and I still love winter. Continue Reading...

Thanks for this place
The wind whips the snow against the windows I hide behind Now snow drained clouds drift overhead, flat light I find Then I notice in the distance, blue sky encroaches this scene With it, the cold icy winds bring air so crisp and clean I watch the mercury in red, drop beneath this crystal sky To the Lord I give thanks for this place, warm and dry Continue Reading...
Treasure
Photography 101. There are many things in life that I treasure and one such thing, or place, is the peace and quiet along side a remote forest stream. Continue Reading...
College Coaches Clinics – Eastern Connecticut State University
Since I am close to the folks and facility at Play the Game in Manchester, NH, I have decided to post this copy from the www.gottahittowin.com website to my blog. There are several more College Coaches Clinics coming up in November and December at Play the Game. If you know of a fast pitch Softball player who might be interested in attending one of the clinics, please contact Jim Cardello at Continue Reading...
The Beginning and the End
The Lord said, “I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”But I sit here thinking on and longing for the good ole days, the past. Where does faith go when we think too much, and get caught up in the pace of society? Information comes and goes so fast that we barely hold on, so we search again just to see. I am a man in awesome wonder, at times life gets in and my Continue Reading...
Selfie from a snow blower?
Yes, over the last several weeks, my snow blower and I have become rather close. But today I think it went a little too far. After another day of clearing snow from my nearly 400’ long driveway, I thought I was done for the day. Then a beep alerted me to an email I had received. It was a picture message from a number I didn’t recognize. It turns out it was from my Ariens Deluxe 30 in. Electric Continue Reading...
