Yesterday I posted the longest post ever, and many who were good enough to read it told me it was the longest blog they had ever read. It was about Puppy Mills and most of the content was shared from a Facebook post from a local weatherman who is dedicated to, and actively involved in animal resc

Every once in awhile you get to meet someone who is extraordinary, rare, and caring. When that person also writes like this it is imperative to take the time to read this. Steve Caporizzo is the weather person on the station I watch in the Berkshires. He has been the chief meteorologist on the Al

I have written a couple of posts recently where I spoke to a real work ethic. I used the example of a roofer I don't know who is toughing it out in the deep freeze in western Massachusetts. As I have said before I couldn't imagine having to be on a roof in the heat of summer, but it never occurre

Yesterday I saw a dog posted on Facebook, titled Death Row Dog. This pup touched me and so I reached out for my friend Elyse Berman in Florida who re-posted it. It's a long story but the bottom line is a rescue group had pulled this dog into a foster home and was trying to find it a forever home.

I'm not sure, perhaps it is the weather or the early darkness that winter brings but I have been thinking. My reflections come mostly in the evening, late evening actually, when the moon and stars are either bright or hidden and I miss them. The quiet of the night is a good time to think without

Some days I think of and remember songs from my childhood. Today, while is is really cold I awoke thinking "Oh What a Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day, I've Got a Beautiful Feeling Everything going to Be OK." This simple tune which gets betters as it goes, is something I would sing on m
