I voted in my first Presidential primary today. Such is life as a New Hampshire resident, and it’s always good to take part in the democratic process. After all, it’s voting and opposable thumbs that gives us that great feeling of superiority, isn’t it?
One thing struck me, though. To vote, all I did was give [...]

oh, well, of course we noticed the people who slammed on their brakes when they hit a bridge, which is what made us decide to head home and heed the mayor’s warning.Well, this morning, I got this e-mail from our town of Durham, New Hampshire:Because of the high heat index today, we have made arrangements toutilize the air conditioned meeting room at the Durham Town Office as acooling off location for individuals who perhaps do not have airconditioning at home or are in need of a break from the heat…. Ifyou or someone you know is in need of a cool location in order to findrespite from the heat, please stop by the Durham Town Office located at15 Newmarket Road, Durham, NH.

of having the milkbox outside the door, and the weekly visits from the mlkman delivering tasty treats. Well, that prompted a quick Google Local search (still in beta, of course!), and result number one was, as you might guess, a goldmine.This morning, the Little Milk Man (which is a company run by and employing only women, funnily enough) arrived, complete with the old-fashioned truck, delivering those same tasty treats I remember.

Train your spouse on your alarm clock: don’t let technology ruin your marriage

As you may or may not know (or care, even), we’re in the process of moving. One mistake we made was agreeing to leave our washer and dryer with our old house. As such, we’re buying new ones. We researched on-site, and then ordered online from Sears.com. A couple of days [...]

I walked in the house yesterday and Skylar, my five-year-old daughter, was typing at my wife’s iBook. I went over to see her, and noticed that she was in the midst of typing an e-mail to her aunt, all by herself. Amazing that at 5 she can do this, but that’s not the [...]
