Frozen Fun
Get to the middle of the lake without a boat.Ice fishing is a great equalizer. Let’s face it, it’s cold.

The Power of Ten
Important things happen at the beginnings of decades. That’s my experience, anyway. And since no one has ever definitively determined whether a decade begins on a “zero” year or a “one” year, December 2010 is a fine time to contemplate whatever the next big thing is to be.

Chill Billy - Peter Mazurowski
The message of “Billy Elliot,” both the movie and the new Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, is that, with talent and determination, you can indeed dance your way to success. And that in a nutshell is the story of Bow’s Peter Mazurowski, who took dance lessons at the N.H. School of Ballet, mostly surrounded by little girls in spandex and sequins,…
Talk About Winter
That’s all you can do about it, really.What do we talk about when we talk about winter? By “we” I don’t mean skiers, snowmobilers or folks who think winter is our finest season, snap on their snow shoes and scamper up that pick-ed knob called Lafayette – for fun.
