Saturday at the cafe: A man meets a woman from a dating service. It looked like they enjoyed their coffee, but, no match. Then old pal Bill comes in, a regular. We sat for a coffee and then it was time to update the website we maintain for him. We […]
Last night with a sigh of relief I published my article about Vero Beach FL. I have tried to stick to a rule of publishing articles within a 30-day window after I return from a trip. I got back from Vero in late November, so this one was just about […]
It may be cold outside, but for Carlo and Nathan Cosme, it’s time for sledding on Beacon Field in Greenfield. This photo appeared in the Republican Newspaper yesterday!
I got a chance to read the WSJ last night and found another example of how industry is charging ahead with fantastic new ways to generate power using the sun and wind. It’s happening right near here at Hamilton Sundstrand, a division of United Technologies located in Connecticut. This company […]
We woke up on this first day of 2008 to a dribbling of snow, which has now turned into a torrent. Bummer, because today is our Open House at One Green Lane, and we’ve invited 30 people over to sip wine and nibble a spiral ham. Ugh! As I sit […]

When I bought my Nissan truck for the cafe, I didn’t realize that it was purely a short-radius vehicle. It’s great for popping back and forth from the house to the cafe, and sometimes for a jaunt down to Holyoke or Costco. But last night I took the rig on […]
Today’s WSJ came with a op-ed piece by Thomas Fleming, an excerpt from his new book called “The Perils of Peace: America’s Struggle for Survival After Yorktown,” in which the author credits George Washington for a single act that he says saved the US. It was difficult time, at Christmas […]
Last night I had a job to do at 1o:55 pm. I hate having to stay up that late, and as I sipped wine at 7 pm I thought that I’d better not have another since ugh, I have to drive to Northampton to meet the bus. My son Sam […]
My eyes were misty when I finished reading an AP story by Helen O’Neill about a pastor who both stunned and challenged his congregation by handing out $50 to all of them with a caveat: They had to use the money to raise funds for the church. The parable of […]
