New Here’s (Me) Looking at You

Here’s me looking at you again. This time you’re going on and on about that relationship. You know, the one where she’s calling all the shots? Yeah, that one.

There are more over here. I’m told it’s worth it to get them all to play at the same time. I don’t think I’ll [...]

Welcome, James!

From probate to validate, the city’s Educational Consortium at James House won a $20,000 Beveridge Family Foundation grant.
I know, the probate-validate rhyme lede was a bit of a stretch, but the James House on Gothic Street was the former site of the Commonwealth’s juvenile court and probate offices before they moved them to [...]

Satisfying.

I love watching people enjoy themselves especially if they’re Muppets and Ricky Gervais.  Thank you and a long overdue cocktail go to Michael Kusek for pointing this out to all.

And despite not understanding one word of Elmo’s portion of the song at the end, I’ve been humming “Set Your Piggies Free” for going on fourteen [...]

Remember When…

(…I used to blog?  Shut up.)

I know we’re supposed to be acknowledging another anniversary lately and distilling down to the fraction of an approval rating what Obama has done for us lately (plenty, but that’s a blog post for another day), but at our house we’re honoring another day of infamy.  On November 2, 2008, [...]

These are the Beasties in My Neighborhood.

It’s not as good a pic as Carol Lollis shot for the Gazette, but I was there to eyewitness the hawk disemboweling the squirrel.
We were driving home from the River Vally Coop when we saw the crowd begin to gather on King Street around the corner from our house.  Deciding to leave the small dog [...]

SHREW – LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER.

Or me, for that matter.  I mean, I’ll be in a skirt or dress the entire time.

Seriously, this production is a new take on one of Shakespeare’s more…traditional plays.  Tickets are going fast and limited because we’re placing the audience in chairs on the stage of the Pines Theater with the play taking place on [...]

Willa Wrastling

This is how we spend our rainy afternoons up on the second floor of Edwards Square.

The favorite part of the wrastle is Willa’s tail. It wags on a scale between absolute joy and deep contemplation.

Two Weeks.

Two Weeks is a buzzy-fill-your-head-with-golden-sound great single by the band Grizzly Bear and I have it on decent authority that they’ll be coming back around in October to Northampton.

It’s also how long it’s been since my last post. I suck. I mean, that’s the suckiest of the sucky. My God I can [...]
