It’s a good time to confront issues head-on

By Cassandra Tyndall

A matter you’ve been either avoiding or walking on egg shells about, may come to a head this week. We all eventually get to the proverbial line in the sand when the only way forward on an issue is to confront it.

While potentially upsetting, once you’ve sliced and diced the matter, only then will you know exactly what you’re dealing with. Getting straight to the point in a conversation may ruffle some feathers, but at least the cards are on the table.

Flared tempers mid-week may settle come the weekend. Escaping into a pastime or soul-soothing activity may inspire a flash of insight or a new intuitive understanding about a problem that was hard to find the words for, define or explain earlier in the week. This isn’t to say that everything is fine and dandy again, but you might find a way forward that you couldn’t before.

My friend Terry Gulick, who passed away earlier this year, used to tease me about my favorite yard tree. Terry did a lot of gardening jobs when he wasn’t mentoring kids, and he was amused and a little offended by what I’d allowed to grow up in my former vegetable patch. It was bad enough…

What Killington was like in 1965

November 20, 2024
Killington was in the town of Sherburne in 1965. I remember going to the Sherburne Town Meeting in March of 1966. The ski area shut down until noon as the men all attended the morning portion of the meeting. It was mainly devoted to the highway department. A lengthy debate occurred about whether the town…
