    Way, way OT—Travel to NH, VT, and ME

    In my thrilling days of youth and yesteryear the challenge was to drive the entire Kancamagus in the dark under only the light of the full moon --- with cars lights off.

    OT - Tom, did you ever catch up with viewing the complete Ken Burns series on "The American Revolution"

    I thought he did his usual good job. I hadn't given much thought to the interesting question of which side winning would actually be better for the native American Indian or the African slaves. Also, the deep divisions between the Patriots and the Loyalists that existed everywhere --- but...

    Friday juke box. Women playing the guitar or keyboards bass in honor

    It's hard for me to believe, but I first saw her perform in 1961 when I was a freshman at Bucknell --- THAT WAS 65 YEARS AGO! I think I had every one of her early Electra albums. Her mastery of the guitar was second only to her incredibly pure voice,

    OT: Camelback ski area in PA still open for skiing

    My entire career was in the ski industry. I got my start at Camelback during the period 1967-69. I've been fortunate enough to have skied from the summits of probably over 90% of the best ski resorts in New England and the American West --- and my only serious injury was at Camelback in 1969 on...

    OT: Poll: Would you want to live to be 100 years old?

    You may have nailed it. At age 65 I probably would have said no, but at age 83, and in good health both mentally and physically (my wife may differ on the mentally), I said yes. So much depends (pun unintended) on things in the future that you can't be certain about. I still have a lot in life...

    All knowing board. Chemo question.

    In early Fall of 2014 I was living just north of you in Little River, SC, and had surgery in Myrtle Beach for a nasty and deep melanoma that had developed on my chest very quickly while I was on vacation in Vermont. At the time my daughter was working at the Northwestern University Medical...

    Multiple Fires in Puerto Vallarta

    You make a good point. Much easier to make headlines bullying the "source" of drugs than to address the root causes of our nation's insatiable "demand" for drugs. I realize that the reasons are quite complex, but I've always wondered why in the world would someone want to voluntarily court pure...

    I seriously doubt that you don't know the answer to your own question.

    Poll: Favorite Look - 2026 BAFTA Red Carpet…

    I can honestly say that I've seen more much better looking women at random in the grocery store, the fitness center, the airport, or just walking down a city street.
