• A bit of Oscar apathy

  I was blabbering on the phone while the Oscars were being handed out last night. But I did manage to catch a glimpse of both hideously gawdy (Anne Hathaway, what were you thinking?) and belle-of-the-ball beautiful gowns on the Red Carpet. Oh, and I saw Read More...

• "Spring is near", repeat

  I've got nothing today. Just the mantra of "spring is near" ringing in my head like a bad commercial. Not soon enough, I think. So I'll pacify myself with photos instead. Here's one: See the ice melting away? Read More... Posted Saturday, February 23, 2008 10:00 AM by NHLife | 0 Comments Filed under: Seacoast, Weather, Spring, photo

• The thing about fog

  A few years ago, I was driving from Salem to Derry after a shopping spree at the Rockingham Mall with my sister. We walked out of the mall into a wall of fog. Now I don't know about you but fog scares the hell out of me. I had never seen fog like Read More...

• The end of the world as we know it....

  I never thought I’d see the day when books would go electronic. As a book hound myself, I was hoping this day would never come. But it has. It’s called the Kindle. Amazon.com’s moderately priced “Revolutionary Wireless Reading Read More... Posted Saturday, February 16, 2008 2:48 PM by NHLife | 0 Comments Filed under: Kindle, books, technology, Amazon, reading

• Clemens had a mass on his a**

  During today’s hearing on Capitol Hill about steroids in baseball, Congressman Stephen Lynch from Massachusetts delved into Roger Clemens' private parts. Being that the comment came from a Massachusetts Congressman, we should weigh the remark Read More...

• Grammy Awards - like a circus?

  I completely missed the Grammy Awards this year. I didn't even realize it was on, actually. I'm a big music fan, too. I guess British rocker Amy Winehouse picked up five awards at the show. Not that she was present to receive the awards, but they Read More...

• The Superbowl or the season?

  I figured it out. That is, the reason why I never cared for football. You see, I'm a baseball fan. In baseball, the best teams compete in a series of games to determine a winner. Now, I understand that you can't play seven football games in a Read More...

• Superbowl ads mostly lackluster

  Like other New England Patriots fans, I'm feeling a little disappointed this morning. But it's not the game that I'm disappointed in. I'm still in shock over that! It's the commercials. Nothing jumped out. Bud Light had its usual repertoire Read More...

• Legislating our fun with speed limits on the lakes

  I try to stay away from politics. But this one is personal. The New Hampshire House approved speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee this week. Other lakes are sure to follow. And how fast do they think we should drive on the water? 45mph during the day. 25mph Read More...
