Well the Tanglewood season for 2014 is officially over. Tony Bennett just closed the venue with an amazing show. I like Tony Bennett, but wasn't a big fan until today. This guy is amazing. He sounds better today than twenty years ago and is all that you would imagine and more: gifted, kind and ve

I am getting braver. It has been a long week with Bats, Squirrels and others coming in and out, and then the men who chase them. Bravery is a acquired taste ans I think I prefer to do without it. So as I sat on the couch and contemplated another 7 AM visit I looked to my keft and saw this Daddy L
