The Blue Behind The Keys

Sometimes the color is in the background…

When This Is All Over…

… we will be a nation with a massive divide, no matter who wins. A nation with a huge difference between the rural and the urban… between those who have done well in the new economy… and those who have been left behind. No matter who wins, our next task as a nation will be to figure out how to rebuild the connections between us. Can we perhaps start by being more civil to each other? To respecting our differences?

A Crazy Day of Curling (Across Generations)

Today was a CRAZY day of curling! It began at 9:00am when our 7-year-old took to the ice at Petersham Curling Club (PCC) for her first day as a member of the "Little Rocks" youth program (ages 7-12). It ended with me going on the ice back at PCC at 8:15pm to play in the Mixed League (men and women) until after 10:00pm. In between those times, our 14-year-old daughter was up in the Toronto, Canada, area playing with her team against 15 other highly competitive Canadian and US teams. Her team had two games – 11:00am and 5:00pm -…
