Well, I’ve exceeded my bandwidth for the month. Or, more accurately, you’ve exceeded my bandwidth. Not quite sure why, but I’m inching up to 50,000 "hits" to my main page, and I’m averaging over 150 per day — so I’m pretty sure it’s not just me. Anyway, I’m only alotted a certain amount of transfer bandwidth per month here at … Read More

A “Godfather” Moment In NH Poltics

The Great Japanese Hope
I’m not one for off-season baseball news, but this caught my eye: The market price for pitching talent is soaring so high that it’s come to this: The Boston Red Sox are ready to pay more than $50 million just for the right to negotiate with Daisuke Matsuzaka, who’s never thrown his "gyroball" – or any pitch, for that matter … Read More

The Movie Meme
1. Popcorn or candy? Gotta say "candy". Popcorn’s good, but then I get thirsty. And so I have to drink. And then I have to pee. What? TMI? 2. Name a movie you’ve been meaning to see forever. Wow.

"It was a freak thing. It was traumatic," Dougherty told The Derrick in Oil City. "I saw … Read More
