UP UP NEXT: A Day at the Museum and L'Italia

Sometime this afternoon.

Up Next: What Did I Do There?

A summary of my year in Brookline, MA, a suburb just outside of Boston, MA in the early 90s decade.

22 hits!

22 hits and counting! Yet another snow day! This location -- today -- sure beats my former one at The Residence. Here I am, live at the New London Library! No more Home Alone II! I want to thank you all for reading today and to please come back tomorrow. I plan to be at the Groton Library. I would like to present to you TALES OF BROOKLINE: I. "A Day at the Museum and l'Italia." And to please remember, everyone, what your limits are. Snow! Freezing rain! Black ice! Alcohol. These items do not mix. And if you are me, Pasta! (This trio would be deadly for me!) Do what you can. Check out what's happening in your own back yard. And if possible, come and see me Saturday, night! On the evening of January 29th at 8pm, and all throughout this weekend, the HYGIENIC XXXII Annual Winter Arts Festival is happening! With an art show, rock music, live theater, etc., etc, etc. -- there is bound to be something (free or low cost) for EVERYONE in downtown New London this weekend! Brave the cold! Come and see me at the Hygienic on Saturday, January 29th, starting at 8pm. You won't be bored, I promise! (P.S. Will there be food???)

After That

After the journey back in time to Boston, I will have for you: THE SINGLE MOM OF CACTUS COUNTY.  Enjoy the saguaro photos!

Up Next: Tales of Brookline

Before we traverse the desert of AZ in 1993, I want to take you back to the land of "that dirty water!"  I have "on que;" 4 tales from my year in Brookline, MA in 1990-91. Well....what else am I going to do with all of my stuff? Let it collect dust? Or let it live on in posterity -- in Cyberspace -- and enjoy what fame I can attract?  Even being a local celeb can be a bit draining.  But fun.  Hope to see all of you here next week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. CU soon!

"Love that dirty water!" That land...down by the River Charles is what my best buddy Paula called home for fifteen years in the 1960s, when I was a child in Montville, CT. But...New York...will always be...the place where I feel at home...away from home (except for Groton).

Spring / Fall 1993

Prior post you just  "saw-guaro" {the cactus, silly!} was Spring in the desert; contrasted with Fall in New England. The greater Mesa-Phoenix-Scottsdale area of Arizona; and Salem Country Gardens in Connecticut with my mother.
