Can you believe that we are just days away from this year’s Telluride by the Sea Film Festival? I, for one, can’t.

There are advantages to living in a part of the country that tourists want to come to during the summer. Let’s see, there’s the satisfaction of watching Sunday traffic on I95 southbound back up all the way to the York tolls on Sunday afternoons. That’s fun. And seeing the occasional Maserati tip-toeing around the potholes and granite curbs in New Hampshire towns is sort of pleasing. And who doesn’t enjoy listening to a loudmouth Masshole or New Yorkah at a local restaurant generously sharing his opinions with the whole room?Read More

Well, it’s almost August, the late innings of the New England summer baseball game, and I hope you’ve been enjoying the sun/surf/gin-and-tonic summer of your dreams and not the sunburn/mosquito/humidity stuff of nightmares.
We don’t get a lot of summer, so we have to make the most of it. And one thing that can make for an enjoyable and memorable season is making a new friend, preferably someone with a long history, a fabulous store of stories and a knack for telling them.Read More
