  My neighbor on Lake Franklin Pierce in Antrim NH likes to put on a backyard fireworks show for the entire lake.  We aren’t talking sparklers.  This is New Hampshire where terrorists are known to shop for bomb parts, and you… Read More ›

  My daughter owns tarantulas.  That’s a whole other blog.  I’ve learned to love her almost weightless pets, that can pounce on a cricket faster than a football player on a loose football.  Nom nom nom. One of my daughter’s favorite… Read More ›
