Because it's there

Please excuse my lack of blogging of late; I'm currently scaling the Himalayas with my dog Rocky and my loyal manservant, Lorenzo. It's very difficult to blog from here, since most of the caves with WiFi are already fully occupied by coffee-drinking slackers.

So posts here will be (as they have been) few and far between, but in the meantime you can check out my contributions to "Our Towns Tonight," a blog on all things Massachusetts, and look for a new blog launch from me through with the publication North Shore Sunday in the near future.

In the meantime ... On, Rocky! Mush! Mush!
