Do Something Original Today!
That thought–do something original today–was the first into my mind as I awoke this morning here at Ocean Park, Maine. What might that mean? The third definition of “original” that I found in The New Oxford American Dictionary is “not dependent on … Continue reading
We are still married after a paddleboard ride before sunrise…
The other day here at Ocean Park, Maine, I convinced my wife to join me on a paddleboard ride before sunrise. She is afraid of the water, and I made a mistake. The mistake was that I didn’t realize the … Continue reading

Eight Minutes Till Sunrise
Sometimes here at Ocean Park, dawn’s early light is more amazing than sunrise itself. Today was a good example. As I rolled over in bed toward the windows at about 5:30 a.m., I saw color in the sky that … Continue reading
Rx for Internet Addiction? My Progress Report at Six Months…

Our fake tree lives in the basement most of the year, with a big plastic bag over it. But on Thanksgiving night, Darlene and I set it up in the living room and turned on the lights. Presto. Now this … Continue reading
Joy in Cambridge: Harvard Wins The Game
The Harvard Band was in fine form after today’s victory over Yale in The Game, 34-24. It was a crisp, comfortable, sunny day for football at Harvard Stadium. I loved hearing the old fight songs and watching the antics of … Continue reading
