Today many in Boston are celebrating the big win in the World Series last night. The Gohn family is no different – we’re thrilled with the Red Sox victory. But let me tell you something that is more precious to me than the win at Fenway last night: Women whose love and winning ideas make…

Back from vacation… with a few thoughts and a few photos

The Dog Mother and Valentine’s Day

So it Valentine’s Day. Or, should I say, Valentine’s Night. And it’s way late. After 11pm. No sweetie in sight — he’s 3000 miles away in California for work, and will be home tomorrow.

There’s a self-appointed censor in my neighborhood. So far, our front lawn has suffered the theft of one of those lawn signs in opposition to the ballot issue known as Question 2 here in Massachusetts. (No, it was not the wind or rain. Our other candidate sign for the local state rep has not been…
