Random thoughts while getting license renewed

September 1, 2021

Like death and taxes, we all have to endure getting our driver’s license renewed. Almost everyone would prefer to get a root canal than have to visit the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Things are even worse during the Pandemic with even longer wait times. The time has come for me to renew my license. Since […]

The joy of browsing in a bookstore

August 25, 2021

I was out doing errands the other day. It was hot and I was tired. On the spur of the moment, I decided to go into a local bookstore. Ah, bliss! I just love the smell of new books. I was like a kid in a candy store, not knowing where to look first. Not […]

Hello to all my blogging friends! I hope you all are having a marvelous summer. I’m still recovering from shoulder surgery, so I have not been kayaking. I sure miss it.

Enough with the aggressive real estate agents!

QUICK NOTE: I’m writing this week, but never fear. Mr. Ken still has a few blog posts up his sleeve, so he will be back. The housing market here in Massachusetts is hot, to say the least. There is a lot of pent up demand, but not a lot of inventory on the market. So, […]
