In my feed-reader today I found a tribute to Brad Delp...It was the first thing I saw this morning when I fired up my lap top and I just had to read it even though I knew it would be a difficult read and of course watch the video. It made me feel sad and a bit melancholy...it was more than a feeling...it was something much deeper. Memories, fond memories of a local rock band made big...a band called Boston...I felt a sadness that I wasn't sure I could shake at least not right away. Brad Delp was the lead singer of the band Boston and he lived in the next town over from us, Atkinson New Hampshire. Brad committed suicide earlier this year.  His suicide left his family and friends, his fans and his community all asking why and deeply shook. What would make a by all accounts nice guy, one w...

Atkinson New Hampshire's Freshwater Farms "Christmas Deck the Halls" open house is this Saturday Dec 1st...Bring the kiddies and enjoy free hayrides and refreshments all guaranteed to make this a special event and one great open house. I stopped by today and marveled at all the lovely holiday decorations and craft items available in the store. While I was there the place was bustling with people selecting the perfect holiday wreaths, kissing balls and decorations. I couldn't help but smile as I walked around taking pictures....the place made me feel like a kid again. Freshwater Farms has been serving Southern NH for 15 years and has just about anything garden related.

Today I played the Atkinson Resort and Country Club in Atkinson, NH. This is a pretty tough course from the white markers playing 6088 yards with a course rating of  70.2 and a slope of  133. I played with my golfing buddy Pete who aced the par 3 8th hole earlier this year to finally join the Acemaker club. Congrats to Pete.  Pete is coming off of 3 broken ribs and wrist surgery from a basketball accident last year. We were supposed to play back in July but his ribs kept us from playing together. Then our businesses kept us the rest of the year from playing together too. Today we finally were able to play 18. We decided to tee it up from the blue tees with a course rating of 72.8 and a slope of 136 playing at 6580 yards. I haven't swung a club in a month and I was eager to get out there...

Embattled Atkinson NH Police Chief Consentino is under fire again! Today’s Sunday Eagle Tribune ran a front page story titled “Residents decry chief’s behavior” and when I saw it I thought…it just never ends. Seems as if the Chief has been under attack for years yet he stays on and on. Small town politics can be very amusing to say the least. I remember reading and hearing about his ongoing battles and supposed  suspect behavior for years…he is not alone.It must be the way of small towns....I mean most of these people who run our small towns make very little if any money doing it. The board of selectmen in my town of Hampstead, I think make  a couple of hundred bucks a year. Not much at all...makes me wonder why anyone would put up with the aggravation....read more here Atkinson NH the ...
