October 22, 2004Slowing DownI have returned from Cape Cod, from walking through sandy shoreland, among rushes, cattails, marsh elder, meadow grasses, and sedge. The wind, a northwester, was howling from the bay-side, and made hiking a kind of bent-over procedure that was not...Read this update Posted by Melissa on October 22, 2004 03:54 PM
Category: October 14, 2004The Old Post RoadThis afternoon, in the light rain, I set off for the Old Post Road with my friend Randall. I was telling him about doing some preliminary research on the area surrounding Moose Hill (Moosiap), and about a map I found...Read this update Posted by Melissa on October 14, 2004 06:15 PM
Category: Down or Out?In the Boston GLOBE yesterday morning, an area nun was quoted as saying that "God is a Red Sox fan." If that is the case, then WHAT is that God thinking? Pedro pitched game 2 and had excellent stuff after...Read this update October 13, 2004In Which We LoseFor anyone traveling abroad and reading this: the Red Sox fell down like moody sheep tonight. The Yankees won 10-7, and managed the game better throughout. RS Manager Terry Francona did not seem to recognize that pitcher "horse" Curt Schilling...Read this update October 10, 2004Moosiap AgainThe top of the hill that I'm crossing is known as "Moosiap," according to the Moose Hill Audubon group that maintains the 2000-acre Sanctuary nearby in town.

For those who hadn't realized it, most of my life revolves around a close identification with my sports teams. The Red Sox provide me with great...Read this update October 08, 2004Who Am I?I'm working on this section very slowly. Right now I'm on a journey that has taken me from Massachusetts to Texas, California, and the southwestern chapparral and desert bioregions. After a long stay, I moved back east to a small,...Read this update October 06, 2004The Squirrel at McDonald'sAfter the sunny drive on lonesome roads, I turned toward Route One, the oldest American N-S highway. There's a mall, with a Taco Bell, and if you don't mind the park and walk, a mini-Starbuck's inside the Barnes n Noble...Read this update Posted by Melissa on October 6, 2004 08:58 PM
Category: Blog: Starting OutIt's October in New England, just at the front of the month. It's a crisp afternoon, bright and sunny, but darkened by lots of oak trees alongside the car. I'm driving through a little forest near my hometown, on a...Read this update Posted by Melissa on October 6, 2004 05:02 PM
