The weather for this year’s Bowdoinham Polar Bear Dip was quite a departure from last year. No ice to break up, no snow on the ground. It was nearly 50 degrees and sunny out. The upshot of all this was that I walked out onto the dock feeling waaay too cocky. The water was so, […]
My daughter is two and a half years old. Whenever she passes gas, she absolutely busts up laughing. Despite occasional sidelong glances from family and strangers alike, she just thinks farts are the funniest things that have ever happened. And you know what? She’s right.

You know that awful diamond commercial where the guy in the Italian city square yells to everyone about how “I love this woman!!!”? A bit corny and gimmicky for my taste. But after receiving the following email from my wife just now, I am tempted to follow suit: hey jer – the UNC Asheville game […]
