I can remember as a child, growing up in Boscawen, NH, we’d hear the sound of the Ice Cream truck while it was still […]

Old Rock Bands, Old Friends = Good Times
A good friend called to surprise me with tickets to the Rick Springfield concert. I wasn’t feeling very well but since he already bought the tickets I decided to go. I hadn’t seen Rick Springfield in concert in 20 years (yes I was an 80’s child). When I was getting ready I decided […]

I Think I Might Be Lost
“You’ve got to be very careful, if you don’t know where you are going because you might not get there.” - Yogi Berra
How true is that? I know from experience that it’s all too easy to just drift through life aimlessly, without any real direction and yet feel disappointed when you wake up one morning […]

City v. Town
I was getting dressed for work this morning, putting on a blue & aqua checkered shirt to go with my navy-blue suit. As I looked into the mirror I asked myself; “is this shirt too country for Campton?” The words “too country for Campton” resinated in my head for a moment before a […]

Summer = Camping
One of my family’s favorite campgrounds is “Branch Brook” on Route 49 in Campton (10 miles from Franconia Notch). Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautifully located in the White Mountains and surrounded by the Pemigewasset River. However, bringing someone who is afraid of every creepy-crawly insect into the woods to go camping can […]

I rented “Night at the Museum” from Popcorn and A Movie in Ashland, NH - what a hilarious family movie.
Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry’s watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman gladiators, and cowboys […]

April Showers Bring May Flowers
With all the rain we had during the month of April… New Hampshire should be one big beautiful botanical garden all summer long. I know how unpredictable New England weather can be but this has been the strangest year. We went directly from Winter head-first into Summer.
