SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – While rummaging through a desk drawer the other day I came across a card I had received at the first football game ever played in the old Schaeffer Stadium in Foxboro, an exhibition contest between the Patriots and the N.Y. Giants in 1971. The card said in essence that years from now [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – We live in an age of technological wonders that not only make our lives easier but have almost doubled an average human’s life span within the past 100 years. This fact becomes readily apparent when reading the obituary section of any newspaper, seeing that so many folks are now living into their [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – Snow is a heck of a lot of fun, providing an excellent reason for being outside in cold weather while skiing, sledding, building snowmen or forts, and having snowball fights. Because of those enjoyable activities I’ve loved the winter ever since my youth but to tell you the truth, due to this [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – Good guys vs. bad guys has always been a popular theme of dramas going back to the earliest days of film. Nowadays of course the stories are either about cops and gangsters or the CIA and terrorists, but before the Godfather trilogy started our current fascination with the Mafia, cowboy movies dominated [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – It seems there have always been claims of UFO sightings and visitations by extra-terrestrials going back as far as the Bible.

Of course other stores carry clothing, jewelry, games, and pets, but the places that sell phones and accessories predominate, and I no longer wonder why. People are talking or texting on their phones virtually everywhere, and though I’m at a [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – There was a time when life was much simpler, when everyone just sat in front of their TVs and watched a program to its end, and then had to get up and walk to the set when a different channel was desired. Imagine that, feet actually served a purpose. That all changed [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – I always look forward to January 1st because it signifies a new beginning, a chance to wash away past ills and look forward to a brighter future. Of course it’s only a date on the calendar and no different than December 31st, but it somehow doesn’t feel the same, inspiring hope for [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – A week or so ago our 15 year old grandson was visiting and in the evening suggested that we watch a show on TV called “Repo Games,” a program we never even heard about and certainly never saw. Wanting to indulge him we put it on, only to find it a most [...]
SHREWSBURY, Massachusetts – We all know how commercialized this season has become and how dependent the retail industry is upon gift buying from Black Friday to Christmas Eve. The rest of the year is really just a prelude to December’s frenzy, but contrary to the views held during the Middle Ages, there is nothing wrong [...]
