In the area of western New England where I now live, the weather is a big topic of conversation. As I write this it is 62 degrees out and sunny. The television meteorologists are waivering over what kind of storm we will have here on Friday. Depending upon the"model" it could either be heavy rain

When I work, I am always serious. Why, because there is a higher standard of behavior required in the workplace. The industry may have changed but the one constant is being ready, willing and able to perform as required. As simple as that may sound it is unusual today, and so if you want to stand

Not my favorite thing to do. Earlier I went for a cleaning , a set of ex-rays and the obligatory look and see from the dentist on duty. I dread these days. My dentist was in another office today and I met a new one who spoke to the hygienist and not to me. Ultimately when I asked, she did speak t

I bought a MacBook a few years ago and have never looked back. Once I mastered the operating system which took a couple of weeks, I was good. Unlike my windows machines which became obsolete in no time, my Mac is intuitive and is hardly ever plagued by anything I haven't created myself.Yesterday

I walked again this morning and cut two minutes off my best time from last week. It wasn't raining or snowing and I didn't need a hat. I can't say I enjoyed myself but it was a bit better than the last time. I like when the weather is cool but not cold, and the skies are clear. When I finished I

This photo was taken a couple of days ago at the beginning of my walk. This property is probably 15 thousand feet and I believe once a barn. It is opposite my home and where the turkeys and the bears live because they are feed. On this day it was different and I was taken by the serenity and fog

There have been a lot of severe swings in temperatures where I live in western New England. I am amazed at how the animals survive when the freeze is on. This week it was in the 70's and then it snowed the next day. When the weather warms a bit, I see the creatures out looking for treats. Here ar

I have been following the Olympics pretty carefully. I particularly like the skating and watched the women last night. The two Russians were amazing, and the Canadian and the gal from Japan were moving. I am disappointed though. The Americans choked and the rest of the skaters were excited or opt

Yesterday I walked in my neighborhood and it got to be 76 degrees. I was warm. Today it is a lot different. There has been some snow and now it is sleeting. Time to get the spikes out if I'm going to walk today. It's hard to do the trek when the weather is stormy but I better get at it if I want
