BOOM! BOOM! That’s how Robin Jaffin punctuated her letter to the Amherst MA board of selectmen when she complained about her neighbor the farmer. In order to keep away unwanted birds, he’s been shooting off a propane-powered gun that makes a boom boom noise in frequent intervals all day long. […]
I remember once telling a woman acquaintance who had just begun a fundraising job at a local college to pursue the richest woman in Massachusetts–Abigail Johnson. She’s the scion of the Johnsons who run Fidelity, the world’s largest mutual fund. But at 45, she’s already been passed over by dad […]
Once more, GoNOMAD reaches high and scores! We have been exhibiting at a major New York Tradeshow for four years, and every year we have gotten more out of it. While we’ve loved our January shows at the Adventure Expo, the time has come to move up. So I’m proud […]
We’ve got some interesting events coming up in the cafe and today it was time to figure out the details. First I got a visit from Attorney Bill St. James, who lived in Deerfield before moving south a few years ago. We are working with Bill to offer a ‘Procrastinator’s […]
At one point this morning both Cindy and I were on our laptops, scanning the local news. I asked her what she was reading and she said it was about Eric Suher’s newest purchase. I jumped over to Masslive and read that my old boss has a new scheme, and […]
On Friday it was sweltering, and I took advantage of the warm weather to play hooky. I met Cindy and we drove out to Lenox, where two friends and their daughter were enjoying a week in the Berkshires by the pool. When we first got there, dreaming of that famous […]
I passed this fatal accident last night at about 6:30 pm on Rte 91. Apparently the driver and passenger, 19 and 43, crossed the median and hit head on a vehicle driving southbound. Traffic quickly backed up for miles in the southbound lane. I snapped these shots and quickly emailed […]
Last night I had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned and eventually got up. That’s when I read about Roswell Rudd, American Trombonist and Renaissance man. A story in the WSJ profiled this prolific musical experimenter, who travels to Mali and the Caribbean in search of new beats. Rudd is […]
I sat outside on the deck tonight, it was humid and it really felt like summer. Sad to think that tomorrow is August and then…well, it’ll all be gone sooner than we think. I read the WSJ and a story popped out that compelled me to read further. It was […]
Brad Shepard and I were joshin’ on the email last week and sounding like corny cowboys, setting up my visit tomorrow on the Morning Show with Bo and Brad, on WHYN-AM. I have been an AM guy for many years now, if you ask me the best radio comes from […]
Today when I checked the mail after a week away, my mailbox was stuffed with WSJ’s. In today’s paper I found out that cats really like raw rabbit more than any other food…and once you give them this, they’ll never eat Friskys again. According the a profile of a Springboro […]
While I was visiting the ranches in Montana, I learned that many people in these United States still use dial up to reach the internet and get email. This was difficult for me to fathom and I hardly barely was able to blog, let alone open email attachments. Here are […]
