So, I just got done with my commentary on Facebook on the Royal Wedding. I can understand the fairy tale aspect of this, but let.s be realistic here. Is it really news? Is it really worth all the hype ? I was doing my segment with Steve Savino of WQUN yesterday, which is always a [...]

I know that we often associate the term “shredding” something cool like, skiing, or maybe what I like doing to Rt 146 very early on a summer day, but in this case, it is a very important activity for you to protect your privacy, and to protect your personal information. Think about it. What do [...]

  I recently wrote an article for this site called “Just Desserts?” about Women’s Empowerment Groups or what are also called Gifting Tables. I call them pyramid schemes, rip-offs, bull crap, and a variety of other uncharitable names. In the article I told a story in a funny way, but I am serious about educating [...]

I just had a great memory, but a little back story first. I grew up in North Guilford many moons ago. Although it was not Appalachia, all the “townies” ( anyone south of Rt 80) called us “rednecks”. Most of our families had farms. We were as likely to cast a fishing line as throw [...]

Throughout the history of the United States, Connecticut has always been at the forefront of maritime traditions. From the the shipbuilding industries of Essex, and New London to the merchant trade of cities such as New Haven and Bridgeport, the sea and sound has always been a major part of the Connecticut lifestyle.

More scary than hot. But I digress, let’s get into the weekend scene. I like the fact that this weekend for that [...]
