Meeting Childhood Heroes and Lessons Learned

May 6, 2016 Leave a Comment

These are the voyages... I grew up watching TV westerns, thanks to my grandfather. When most people can't remember anything beyond their recent past, I can clearly recall being held as a baby, learning to walk in a walker... and TV westerns. The sounds of Cheyenne, The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Maverick and many others helped to form my first years in life. In 1966, I was hooked on … [Read more...] about Meeting Childhood Heroes and Lessons Learned

Vermont County Fairs and Something Missing?

September 9, 2015 Leave a Comment

I received an e-mail a few weeks ago from someone suggesting that I write an article about the declining amount of fun to be had at the Vermont county fairs. In his words, “none of the fairs … [Read more...] about Vermont County Fairs and Something Missing?

Stupid Vermont Laws, Except One!

December 24, 2010 Leave a Comment

Vermont has some pretty old and idiotic laws but my personal favorite is the last one on the list. Here we go: Women must get permission from their husbands to wear false teeth. It's illegal to deny the existence of God. It was once illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole. Delivery men must walk backwards in driveways of homes worth more than $500,000 It … [Read more...] about Stupid Vermont Laws, Except One!

Summer in Vermont

May 25, 2010 Leave a Comment

As I write this, it is late-May in Vermont and the temperatures today are pushing into the 90's. Lilacs are still in bloom but won't be around much longer in this hot weather. Despite the hot weather, there really is no place like home in Vermont. I have been spending a lot of time in Bangkok recently where it is always brutally hot, noisy and hectic. Being cooped up in an air … [Read more...] about Summer in Vermont
