Music has the wonderful ability to guide you, enable you, inspire you, and help you understand yourself better than anything else on the planet. I don’t know if it’s the rhythm and the words, I don’t know if it’s the tempo and the tone – but whatever all of it is, it’s a powerful thing.Continue reading “December | Playlist”

Squirrels | 12.15.2022
I don’t mind telling anyone that the girls started sleeping in their own beds in the loft last night. They argued over who was going to sleep in what bunk and who was getting what stuffed animals, but in the end – they made the call and made it happen. Sure you can say theyContinue reading “Squirrels | 12.15.2022”
River Sisters Homestead
I live in a valley where the Connecticut River has a major influence on the weather we get down at the house. I’m half a mile from the main road, the other side of which lives the river. In the warmer months, you can hear the powerboats ripping down the multi-state waterway. Due to theContinue reading “River Sisters Homestead”
Six From The Heart
I spent this weekend in the woods – submerged in the ether. Fall is always a special time for me to get out in the out there, but this year came on extra strong and having the ability to get away for two days right when the leaves were hitting their stride was nothing shortContinue reading “Six From The Heart”
Eden’s Shore
Most people see Spring and Summer as the ideal time to have an adventure in the great outdoors. Spring? YES!Summer? Not so much… This morning I woke up and it was 45 degrees before the sun crawled over the mountain. It’s only 48 now with the sun in my eyes – and all I wantContinue reading “Eden’s Shore”
Needful Things: 210DX
It goes without saying that I’ve spent a little time on the mountain – but at one point it was a whole weekly to-do where The Wolf and I would get all sorts of food and drink, head out to where the woods twist and turn, have ourselves a fire, and get a good shineContinue reading “Needful Things: 210DX”
Gone Are The Days
The internet is really what struck the first tone of the death knell for brick and mortar retail experience; forcing retailers to decide if they wanted to focus on in-store sales or internet sales – or find the balance between both. Then, after years of finding what worked for their business model, Covid hit andContinue reading “Gone Are The Days”
The Reconnect
There was a time in my life where I was connected to the outdoor world through the people and gear. That connection enhanced everything I did outside, and – taking it step further – pushed to be more and do more when I was on one of my crazy adventures. I was in the middleContinue reading “The Reconnect”
Better Than a Needle: TPBs
I’m not going to turn this into a long-winded proclamation of my love for comic books, but I’ve got a couple of things to say – and I am going to wrap this up with three trade paperbacks that you should get your hands on asap. I came up in the 1990s reading comic books;Continue reading “Better Than a Needle: TPBs”
This Summer I Slowed Down
I had no intention of ever becoming a hermit – if that’s what this all is. In fact, I was quite the social butterfly right up until Covid. Now, out here – on the other side of the pandemic – I’m quite comfortable with my latest hobby of staying away from the hustle and bustle.Continue reading “This Summer I Slowed Down”
