Week I

February 27, 2015
Today marks the end of the first full week of Lent, so I decided to make good on one of my Lenten resolutions by giving up my penchant for procrastination at least long enough to quickly write a new blog post.

I love Lent. It's sort of like a six-week boot camp for your  Read More

Five More Weeks!

February 14, 2014
Week 1 of the Winter Olympics is almost complete. It always goes by too fast! At least it has given us a little diversion from the crazy weather we've been having. Where's global warming when you need it!

Anyway, this looks like it will be a good weekend to curl up on the couch with  Read More

Waisting Time

January 22, 2014
Okay, we just rolled over three weeks into the new year and my resolution to shed ten pounds is already looking...well, irresolute. I don't have to bother stepping on the scale to know, the waistline of my slacks tell the story.

I thought I'd do better once a couple of weeks went by  Read More

Arriverderci 2013! Benvenuto 2014!

January 1, 2014
A quick post to start the new year right!

As a general rule, I tend to favor even-numbered years--why I'm not sure--so I'm looking forward to 2014. Last year had its moments, some really good ones as a matter of fact, but it also had more than its share of...well... odd ones.

December 16, 2013
Is it just me or are the days till Christmas flying back faster than you can say "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"? It seems I'm always in a hurry this time of year, so I decided today that I would try to slow things down just a little and take time to appreciate what the  Read More

Just a quick post to start the week out right. Had a great weekend. Saturday my wife and I attended the URI Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Christmas show. It was wonderful! The students really put on a great performance and you can't beat the price of admission. The show is always one of the  Read More

Quittin' Time

October 14, 2011
It's Friday afternoon and I'm getting ready to close up shop for the day. I haven't posted anything in a long while so I decided to write something quick before I head home.

A lot of you have sent messages, asking if I'm writing anything new and when will it be published. The answer  Read More

Calling All Readers!

June 10, 2011
It’s getting towards quitting time here at my office as I write this, but I couldn’t close up shop for the day without sending a big mille grazie! out to Anita and all the members of the Kibbe Tract Book Club in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. I telephoned in to their monthly meeting  Read More

Buone Feste!
