Well, nothing says New England quite like -50o bitter windchill on Monday, 40s on Tuesday. Or at least it felt like that. That wind the last few days was just ridiculous. I had to look down and make sure I really did have pants on when I stepped outside. Thankfully, for the neighbor’s sake, I…

Knowing how even the threat of thunder and lightning can cause a two-week power outage in Lunenburg, the first question most people asked me after the Blizzard was, “Did you lose power?” And shockingly, the answer is no.

The coming week’s planned rink schedule can be found on page 3. The Recreation Commission reminds…

We join in sending our condolences to the people of Newtown, CT and all of the family and friends who lost loved ones last Friday. There’s not much that hasn’t already been said about the tragedy. It’s just a horrific event that we all have to process in our own way. For those…

Coffee. I love everything about it. The taste, the smell, the whole experience. And I’m not talking about the fake coffees- the mocha java coconut butter goldenrod spinach souffle gourmando supremo with three specks of nutmeg (NOT FOUR) and a splash of goat’s milk. I’m talking about real honest-to-goodness coffee from real coffee beans with…
