As a retired librarian, I am so happy I saved one & it now lives with me!

Screening on 35mm! The Friday Film Matinee returns this week with Christopher Guest’s WAITING FOR GUFFMAN. Aspiring director Corky St. Clair and the amateur cast of his hokey small-town musical production go overboard when they learn that Broadway theater agent Mort Guffman will be in attendance.

@korystamper.bsky.social Looking forward to reading TRUE COLOR! Just took a look at one of the dictionaries I have at home … quite astonishing when I turned to a red page!

A tiny bit windy on Cape Cod this morning …

Waiting for another public library patron to return HER FIRST AMERICAN! Your suggestions have made it to Cape Cod. 😉

Delightful to see a reissue of a Sarah Orne Jewett!

Political analyst Jon Keller back at WBZ News as special contributor, station says - The Boston Globe Keller had been laid off from the station in October.

Wow! Terrific! Just posted …

You know … I knew he had been laid off & yet because he kept showing up I thought maybe they had changed their minds. So sad. Nonetheless a good reminder of when you both talked with Emily. Channel 4 has recycled LOTS of his shows.

@dankennedy.net Great to hear you & John Keller this morning. Still miss the WGBH Friday evenings!

No power for days, so yes we probably missed it.

Norwell High School senior's buzzer-beater makes ESPN's Top 10 plays: "I still can't believe it happened" A buzzer-beater by Norwell High School senior Nick Fein that stunned a packed Swampscott gym is now going viral.

@boswoolguy.bsky.social

Who could imagine when we were there that Norwell would be on CBS News?!

Very nice kid as well as an amazing shot!

Our local grocery store post blizzard!

We already loved Pink Door … now we love them even more!

The Blizzard of ‘26 is in the books, and it was a doozy. But how did it compare to the great Cape storms of yesteryear? Join Cape author & historian Don Wilding at Eastham’s Chapel in the Pines, 220 Samoset Road, on Sunday, March 15 at 10 am for his presentation of “Historic Storms of Cape Cod.”

@emszuplat.bsky.social I am sure you have heard about the blizzard! And yet, Penelope is loving all the birds singing! And, unbelievably, the ENTERPRISE was delivered! Our driver & his wife told me that they live in Bourne & believe Bourne did a much better job of cleaning the snow off the roads!

Indeed!

If you missed the Wednesday @wcai-npr.bsky.social book show … it was a repeat as no one could get to the studio due to a blizzard. However instead there was a fun repeat! Peter Abrahams and I talked about books involving radio. Here is the link … enjoy!

Being at a dead end makes a gigantic snow pile in front of one driveway! Happily one car was on the other side of the house!

Lots and lots of snow after the blizzard …

Snow, snow, and more snow!

Thanks!!

Anyone know what this flower is?
