  • Nothing's Cold as Ashes

    Where I work has lots of different people sharing floor space, with many different tasks being successfully accomplished with only measured amounts of casual conversation between and among people. I get confused when I read articles about some employer...

  • Randy Newman for Secretary of State

    Have you had an opportunity to check out international press reaction to our 'little, old' Presidential election? It's touching in a way, it really is. There are, as you might imagine, as many sources and channels of responses as there are...

  • Strange Days Indeed (Norwich Meetings)

    Necessary but sad business on tonight 's Norwich City Council agenda , starting at 7 in Room 335 of City Hall, as Ms. Dee Ann Brennan, the even-tempered, seemingly unflappable Town and City Clerk, is retiring and the Council will be recruiting within...

  • Bono is God--but NOT vice versa

    Just in time for Sunday, a news brief from earlier in the week, linking Canton, CT, with Jensen Beach, Florida (I've never (to my knowledge) been in either place, but their luck may eventually run out and I hope they'll be gracious should that...

  • Sheeple vs. People

    I had a coffee yesterday morning where I often buy it, in the joint inside the local grocery store because I can pick up a copy of a newspaper and pay for everything at the same time (I hate carrying around change while looking for a vending box). I like...

  • Humoring the Rumorists (and Rumoring the Humorists)

    It's been exactly ten days since the election of Senator Barack Obama to the office of President of the United States and Silly Season has already started. Actually, I'm oversimplifying it by calling it 'silly season', but that's because...

  • A Simple Desultory Phillippic

    Across the country, this week and next, at all grade levels, children, youngsters, high schoolers, Friends, Romans, Countrymen are trudging home with report cards. I've always admired the savage sense of timing that our education factories display...

  • Stage Fright

    I suppose Loudon III , with Rufus , could relate to Billy Ray 's situation. His daughter, Miley , did "boffo box office" in the early fall, as Variety might write (spice of life or not, there's no business like show business ), and the...

  • From Flanders to Strawberry Fields

    In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved...

  • Take Back the City

    This is a week of quiet work for lots of volunteers across the Rose City underscoring the idea of many hands make light work , which is much better than my original understanding of the expression, 'Mandy Hanz is a big jerk' . Be advised, perhaps...

  • Hopefully Not Corinthian Leather

    Huge news week for many of us across the nation and around the world and bit more turbulent, perhaps, than desired or necessary for one of us from Stonington , Connecticut. Admittedly a small item that may have escaped your notice, glad that I'm here...

  • (More) Thoughts on the First Tuesday in November

    All the spin-meisters have packed up and taken their three card monte tricks to wherever it is pundits go when they're not punditing (call the Guinness World Records book folks, I'm not sure anyone has ever made that word into gerund before today...

  • Pretty Fly for Poli-Sci

    We've got some time between now and the Inauguration-another relic of our agrarian past. For voters in Western Europe, elections were and, for the most part, still are, held on Sundays. We've been using the first Tuesday in November since practically...

  • Wal-Mart Comes to Walton Mountain

    I was shopping with my wife in a Wal -Mart Super Center. It really is America, no matter how many people hate the idea of having one in their town ( Brooklyn, CT , are your ears burning?), they still shop in them. I shop as I suspect most men do, in one...

  • A Man of My Mind Can Do Anything

    All politics is local, so forgive me if, just for a moment, I'm local and vocal in congratulating soon-to-be former Norwich Alderman Christopher Coutu on his successful campaign to be elected state representative from the CT 47 th District. Congratulations...
