On the basketball court, they called him Perl. For some reason I didn’t get that it was a shortened version of his last name, Perlmutter. Instead I thought it was an homage to Earl the Pearl, of the flashy 1960s Knicks. I read about Perl today, he took over my […]
Outside a new blanket of snow quiets down Mountain Road. It’s cozy as we all sit around in our bathrobes, sip coffee and wake up. Cindy has come up and last night we watched a movie. Or should I say, I watched it after the rest of the people went […]
Twitter is providing me with lots and lots of cool links and ideas. I am now officially a fan! Not only have I found articles that really provided me with great ideas (like one about the top ten ways Twitter can help a business do better on line) but I’ve […]
Interns are a great help to us at GoNOMAD. As we have joined our fellow businesses in seeing the fragility of the market, and the downward trend in business, we always can use people to help us out with tasks. There are now three UMass students who want to be […]
I’ve really warmed up to my new routine at the Holyoke Y. Entering the building and seeing mothers and tots and then entering the fitness center, that’s filled with people of all ages is heartening. I used to go to a gym in Northampton where everyone was either bulging with […]
I’m the toastmaster general now, seeing as how we’ve upgraded to a new superdeluxe conveyor belt toaster in the cafe. This baby just keeps on rolling, taking in the bagels and spitting them out lovely brown and ready to eat. We’ve had so many problems with burned bread, pasty white […]
You know those books that you love, then you find get tiresome, and then, one day you just pick up a random page and it starts to be fascinating again? Well that’s what I think of American Nomads by Richard Grant. I turned to a page that told the story […]
click the photo to make her huge I got a request to show more Sofie photos. Who can resist this 19-day-old little bundle? As the icy wind blew, we made a daytime fire at 9 Mountain Road and as you can see, Sofie likes it too. January can be a […]
We always try to make it back from wherever we are to catch Sunday’s 60 minutes. It’s still one of the few shows you can say that has real ‘water cooler’ cred, many, many people I know watch it and often a segment I watched they watched too. Last night […]
It’s a cozy Sunday morning with about 5 inches of new powdery snow and we’ve shoveled it all out. Cindy is seen here with Sofie relaxing by the fire. We’ll head up to the cafe and read the papers, and later on we’ll go to our Circulo Italiano meeting. There […]
As I drove north in the GoNOMAD Café truck en route to pick up supplies, I listened to Michael McConnell on the AM dial. He isn’t a total right winger either. He was talking about a new program that the Feds have implemented to get kids to eat their free […]
It’s a complicated day, full of fits and starts and stuff I am not sure how to fix or finish. First it’s getting tickets to Cancun, which sounds great…but then we saw that our Mexican agent’s price was way, way higher than what the airline offered. DÓH! It’s too late […]
