I WAS HOPING to add to the Winter Carnival here in Ludlow, VT with a lively reading of the dragon scene from Heaney’s translation of “Beowulf”. Instead, I spent the morning learning the basics of snow sculpturing and snow sculpture coloring. I also discovered that not all spray bottles work the same and […]
I LEFT WORK a bit early today in hopes of beating the traffic out of Cambridge, MA and the forecasted snow that was supposed to hit southern Vermont. The drivers displayed the usual sense of senseless lane changes, sudden turns without indication, and passing on the right while going straight in a right turn […]

WATER, WATER everywhere, and ice hidden underneath. It took me almost an hour to walk home. I had to avoid falling on my ass from all the invisible ice or being swallowed up by the deep pools of water everywhere. I would have just preferred more snow and no rain. Rain […]
EVERYTHING is coming up Vikings this week in the run up to the Winter Carnival in Ludlow, VT. I happened to be flipping channels yesterday morning and I stumbled upon “Pathfinder” an action movie with perhaps too much dialogue centered on the confrontation between Vikings and Native Americans.

I HAVE BEEN using the recently released “Live At Shea Stadium” by the Clash as my work out soundtrack. What’s not to like on the treadmill with an opening that moves from “London Calling” to “Police on My Back” with its chorus of “running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday” to “The Guns […]
I PURCHASED the Definitive Gold Box Edition of Twin Peaks some time ago, but tonight I decided to sit down and watch the show again, one episode at a time on Sunday nights. I remember the show airing on Sunday nights, but I could be making that up.
As for the show, I […]
I MADE it to Ludlow, VT just before the forecasted storm crept through the area and left behind a smattering inch or two of snow. Enough to make things sloppy and slushy, but not enough to cover the crusty, muddy, brown snow on the roads, driveways and sidewalks. Sunshine chased away the sheltering […]
THE FORECAST called for snow or something in Vermont this evening as I made my way home, but instead of a storm it was just warmer weather. 37 degrees felt like a proverbially heat wave.
ITUNES continues to fade and falter in my eyes. I recently bought a Zune, which means I spent more time doing gardening album information and graphics in the Zune software than the iTunes software. The Zunes software is not perfect, but the subscription pass model serves my listening needs better. Sometimes I […]
