Last week we had the honor of speaking to the Branford Chamber of Commerce on the topic of Social Media. By far, the most questions people had were about Twitter. We tried to emphasize that there’s no “correct” way to use it, that it’s just a tool; it’s about being creative and using that tool [...]

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On March - 10 - 2010

We’d all like to be pampered a little more often—a soothing massage, a relaxing facial. But pampering doesn’t have to be a luxury!
At Daydream, we believe that you deserve these services more than once or twice a year. That’s why we developed our innovative Daydream Membership Plan. You pay a small membership fee and get [...]

Bill Chinnock: RIP

Posted by Mark O'Brien On March - 9 - 2010

I was pleasantly surprised to find an acquaintance on Facebook recently. His name is Mark Saleski. Finding him on Facebook reminded me that we initially connected because of the passing of Bill Chinnock, an amazing musician and human being who left us three years ago last Sunday: March 7, 2007.
When I learned of Bill’s passing [...]

Well this is the last of the pre-Oscar blogs and I am going to talk about the two remaining movies up for best picture, some other worthy notes and finally, my predictions.

What Might Have Bin (Laden)

Posted by Mark O'Brien On March - 4 - 2010

When you come right down to it, it doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference where Osama Bin Laden is, does it? We’re talking about a socially maladjusted crank, who shows up once in a while with the video equivalent of schoolyard taunting; and we all get our shorts in a bunch:
You can’t catch me. [...]

Friday Night Happy Hour Is Back!!!

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On March - 4 - 2010

Sorry for the delay, but as you can tell we have been extremely busy of late. So in order to celebrate I am thinking that it’s time to come out of hibernation, and I can’t think of a better place to start than  ELI’S ON THE HILL,  in Branford. That’s right, going back to one [...]

Going Out With Shoreline Out And About

Posted by Jennifer Petty Mann On March - 2 - 2010

Holy Mother of God. Am I too old to go out with these people? Too young? Am I not trouble enough or too much. Eddie ( who probably does not like to be called this but I will any way because he owes me – don’t ask) is a crazy man.

He took me out on [...]

Global Swarming

Posted by Mark O'Brien On March - 2 - 2010

A confession: I don’t believe in man-made global warming. And the only thing I don’t believe in even more than man-made global warming is that phonies like The Reverend Al Gore, High Priest of the Church of the Warming Globe, should receive Academy Awards and Nobel Peace Prizes for ranting hysterically, ignorantly, and self-servingly. But, [...]

Weekend Update:Movies, Comedy,Music, And Enough Of This Snow Already

Posted by Edwin Bartlett On February - 26 - 2010

The great thing about this time of year is that we are closer to spring than we were last month.  Wow, what powers of observation I have.  Seriously, spring is around the corner.  I see squirrels chasing each other during the day, and raccoons running rampant at night.  And dead skunks in the middle of [...]
