In an effort to declutter before the holidays, I’ve been tackling the overflowing magazine basket. Yes, if you could see inside my house you’d know that attempting to clean house by organizing/purging a magazine basket is simply an exercise in procrastination.
In the stack were several Martha Stewart Living magazines, including one from March of this [...]
Isn’t this fun?!
It describes me to a T lately; I’ve been AWOL in both my neighborhood and my Skype book groups.
This is a blank greeting card that I found at Paper Source - a great ‘paper’ store in Cambridge. Aside from a large selection of not-run-of-the-mill greeting cards, they have scrapbooking and card-making supplies, rubber stamps, [...]
We are a house divided.
J was raised in New Jersey and is an avid Yankees fan. I – born and bred in the Boston area – root, root, root for the Red Sox! Somehow we make it work.
Things are often tense over the summer months as these rival teams inch up and over each other, [...]

What are you thinking?! “Keep it hot! Keep it clean! Keep it lubricated!” is the mantra of grillmaster Steven Raichlen, who, with Workman Publishing, co-hosted an amazing barbeque for the crew of the USS Constitution.
The back-story is that Southwest Airlines, Steven Raichlen, and Workman Publishing sponsored a sweepstakes in which the winner would receive 10 airlines [...]
I’ve been in back-to-school cleaning mode this past week; the pile of papers on my desk resembles a smaller version of the to-be-read stacks of books around the house! One of the papers I found (and have now filed, but didn’t discard) is this essay written by LM12 three years ago when he entered 4th [...]
It has been a busy weekend in our little town! Concord, Mass. was incorporated on September 12, 1635, and the townspeople are pulling out all the stops to celebrate our 375th birthday. I know that may not sound like much to European readers of this blog, but, it’s a lot of years around here (and [...]
