First things first. Go run to Haverhill. Get those hills both ways.

Spring Cleaning Our mailing list has too many entries to manage effectively (or in my case even poorly.) We have been adding new RWOBs to the list almost weekly. Many of you old-timers may not realize that BRC is still a thing and have redirected your Saturday mornings to other purpose. Some haven’t been seen ...

The roads are getting even more clear, as the snow and ice slowly subside. Good times. ...

Huge storms dumping tons of white joy make me smile all day long. Sometimes, it gets cold enough that the joy seems to ...

The Rule of Law is important to a Constitutional Republic. When that fails, the Republic is soon to fall as well. Thus, we should do our part to ...
