I sit down to write this just after watching Tom Brady win another Super Bowl (LV) in very convincing fashion. As a New Hampshire native and a lover of all New England sports it was nice to see the Buccaneers (AKA Patriots South) win. Brady, Gronk and Fournette are all former Patriots. It is amazing…

COVID-19 Wk 44: One Step Closer
Are we one step closer to the end? One step closer to normal? Honestly I don’t know at this point. I have the lyrics from Linkin Park “One Step Closer” looping in my head. Specifically “I cannot take this anymore..” and “Cause I’m one step closer to the edge, I’m about to break”. Yeah, I…
