Hello Friends of the Road, I wish all of summer is like the weather I had this weekend. Not too hot, and so enjoyable to be out in. I’ll happily give up the minutes of daylight that are lost at this time of year to have this kind of weather. I hope all is well…

Hello Friends of the Road, I hope you are all doing well. A tropical storm has rolled through New England and we have had lots of rain and wind. Thankfully, my lights stayed on and I hope the same is true for you all. We have been needing rain, so we got our wish I…

Hello Friends of the Road, Are any of you planning on dressing up as a revolutionary war soldier for Halloween? I know it is is traditional to dress up as something scary, but why not something educational? As the leaves fall off the trees, things are changing fast and soon we’ll be in “stick season”….

Hello friends, brothers and sisters of the road, I hope you’ve been enjoying this nice weather we’ve had. The foliage has been amazing this year after a dull season last year. The weather has allowed the color to remain on the trees, and not fall to the ground early due to rain or wind. It…

Hello Friends of the Road, I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather we’ve been having. I just played some outdoor tennis at the local school, which was great. I’ve heard about snow out west and heavy flooding down south, so I consider myself fortunate to be in the Northeast at the moment. Some of…
