Dear Friends, The road trip to New Orleans had its ups and downs but we loved the Big Easy and spent some time listening to great music and consuming adult beverages. The Celtics game was a bit of a disappointment as the injury-ravaged team lost that game before heading out on a 4-game win streak…

I think I will be eating some seafood this weekend. Living here next to the ocean on a little island has some significant seafood advantages. It is hard for me to order seafood when I return to Vermont because I am so used to eating fish that had been in the ocean earlier in the…
