By Dave Hoffenberg And then there was one, all alone at the top and that is Clearly Moguls. The team swept its three-game week and came away unscathed after the first round of games. Now it's wash, rinse, repeat and on to the second round of games. CM started with a double-header last Monday night…

By Cal Garrison a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Taurus Moon. By the time Wednesday rolls around the Moon will conjunct the Sun and enter its “New” phase in Gemini. On top of this, before the week is out, with Mercury shifting from Gemini to Cancer, and…

By Dom Cioffi The grumbling went on for days. Occasionally I would hear hate-speak; other times, pointed questions were blurted out. And then finally one day my wife walked out of her office and tossed her cell phone onto the couch. “I’ve had it,” she exclaimed, with more than a hint of desperation in her…

By Marguerite Jill Dye Those of you who grew up in the Green Mountains of Vermont or other wilderness areas may take certain things for granted, but when I found bear poop just outside our bedroom window, I was excited and beside myself. As a Jersey girl and weekend Vermonter, I grew up helping Dad build…

By Cal Harrison a.k.a Mother of the Skye  This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Void-of-Course, Aquarius Moon that will remain in that mode until it moves into Pisces at a little before 7 a.m. June 5. Aspect-wise, things look pretty easy to take. On the surface, a Grand Trine between Venus,…

By Marguerite Jill Dye Perched on the deck this shimmering hour, hummingbirds hum and songbirds sing. Pico and Killington peek through the trees as sunlight illuminates chartreuse spring leaves. The peace on the deck contrasts sharply with the chaos I’ve created inside. A decluttering tornado has just passed through. Plastic bins’ contents of keepsakes and…

By Dom Cioffi Many years ago (just before the advent of the new millennium), I stood in the basement of my new home trying to envision a renovation project that would meet all my particular needs. At that point, the area was a dusty second thought. The previous owners had used it strictly for storage,…

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 1:25 p.m. May 28, and remain in that mode until it enters Sagittarius at around 6:29 p.m. The tail end of our Memorial Day weekend is always a herald…

By Dom Cioffi  My teenage son looked at me the other night and stated, “Dad, can you stop being a coach and just be my father?” That hit home, not only because it was a pretty insightful comment from such a young mind, but also because it was painfully true. I’ve been coaching sports in…

By DJ Dave Hoffenberg May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month. The ribbon color is gray because gray matters. On Saturday, June 10 at 11 a.m. you can help the cause by participating in the first ever Wander to Wonder 5K Walk at Castleton University. There will be signs around campus directing where to go; or GPS…

By Marguerite Jill Dye Sometimes we just need to click “pause” to escape from the craziness of everyday life. Full schedules, obligations, media, and events cause many to live in constant distraction. But when we take a few minutes within, our inner nature reveals itself. Pushing the pause button gives us the time to turn experiences…

By Cal Garrison, a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under a Void-of-Course Leo Moon, that will enter Virgo at around 10:03 p.m. (EST) on May 21. The sun changed signs over the weekend, moving from Taurus to Gemini at 10:15 p.m. on Sunday night.  Venus enters Cancer on May 19,…

By Dom Cioffi My son took a school trip to Washington, D.C., this past week. He was gone for the better part of four days. My wife and I were appropriately excited about his departure – both for the experience he was about to have and the fact that we could enjoy some time alone. Upon…

By Marguerite Jill dye One of our greatest modern day challenges is finding ways to escape chaos and noise. The Finnish Tourist Board released “Silence, Please,” under a series of wilderness photos, each with a solitary figure. “With noise pollution the world round, finding silence is a rare thing,” VisitFinland.com states. “No talking, but action,”…

By Cal Garrison, a.k.a Mother of the Skye This week’s horoscopes are coming out under the light of a just-about-new Taurus Moon, with a bunch of aspects that are overridden by the fact that Uranus will be entering Taurus at 11:16 a.m. on Tuesday, May 15. Uranus is a generational planet. This means that while…
