I really don't know where to start. I was at Tanglewood last night for a taping of A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and company. The show was incredible, funny, moving and outrageous. The program was broadcast live at 6 PM eastern time and lasted until 8 PM. The material was univer

One of the reasons I love the Berkshires is the back to a better time feeling that exists here, all throughout the year. I live in Norman Rockwell's town, and it is a peaceful and tranquil town and area in January, October or July. The 4th of July in the Berkshires is more crowded than other time

As many of you know I have always had animals, dogs actually and have for the last several years volunteered with a local rescue group in New Jersey. I have said before and will say once more that this passion as the toughest thing I have ever done and in so many ways the most fulfilling. Shelter

I love to garden and my new old house provides ample opportunities. It's really satisfying to make something from nothing and with luck and persistence there s beauty. Yeah, I know, it would be nice to post some pictures, but I'm not ready yet: but soon. Meanwhile I bought some romaine lettuce to
