Many parents want to keep supporting their children through some major life transition, like college, marriage, or buying a first home.…

By Susan Shea On winter mornings when I look out my window, I often see a gray squirrel clinging upside down to the post supporting my bird feeder, with his front paws in the tray, munching sunflower seeds. Sometimes, a much smaller red squirrel is perched on the opposite side of the feeder. This brings…

By Dom Cioffi My son’s basketball season officially ended this past Friday night with a loss in the semi-finals. It took no more than 15 minutes from the end of his game before he started pestering me for a sleepover. I have a rule during any sports season that there will be no sleepovers on…

By Meghan McCarthy McPhaul Had a unicorn pranced across the trail in front of me, I wouldn’t have been surprised. It was one of those sparkly winter days, when snow drapes fir trees and glints across the landscape. I was at the top of Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire’s Franconia Notch, and an undercast made…

By Marguerite Jill Dye We switch back and forth between reality and fantasy, but it’s often confusing as to which is which. When we’ve reached our five-minute news limit on Trump’s turmoil and utter chaos, we leave CNN’s political pundits and MSNBC commentators. We’ve found a way to preserve our sanity by turning on Netflix…

By Dom Cioffi Testosterone is an interesting thing. The hormone, found in all humans, plays an important role in the body. In men, it’s thought to regulate sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm. It also has a profound effect on an individual’s mood.…

By Dom Cioffi I know it’s a little early to be thinking about golf, but Tiger Woods was playing in his first tournament of 2019 this weekend and that got me watching. Tiger had a so-so outing at the Farmers Insurance Open (tied for 20th; so-so for him). He looked to be in early season…

By DJ Dave Hoffenberg If you’re into bluegrass, check out Fiddlewitch. Even if you’re not, check them out anyway –  they play good music. I had the pleasure of speaking to David Hughes (age 57) who started the group two years ago with his step-daughter Meghann Patten (age 23). Hughes plays acoustic bass/guitar; she plays…

By Cal Garrison a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Scorpio Moon, that will turn Void-of-Course at 5:39 p.m. on Jan. 28 and remain in that mode until it enters Sagittarius at 9:33 a.m. on Tuesday morning. As I sit down to write this week’s column,…
