    The boardwalk behind River's Edge is officially open for business and connects to the bike trail which, of course, isn't officially open for business. But it's open nonetheless.

    Still no connection under the bridge, but could happen soon.' [...]

    The bastard spammers found me, so I had to insert one of those annoying "Type this word that you can't really read" features on my comments page. Sorry about the inconvenience, but I've got more "male supplements" than I can handle. [...]

    Good luck to Gillian Swart, Melanie Wold and Stewart Lytle.

    Number of comments: 2
    This popped into my head this morning after enjoying Victor Tine's account of the ceremony honoring former Daily News editor Bill Plante. Written in 1928 by Stanley Walker, city editor of the New York Herald Tribune.

    "What makes a good newspaperman? The answer is easy. He knows everything.'" [...]

  • A distrubing trend

    Number of comments: 10
    So, only 39% of the voters turned out to vote in Tuesday's election. Dismal. Depressing. Just plain sad.

    How's this compare to years past? From the Daily News article reporting on the 2007 general election.

    Voter turnout was lower than the previous two general elections with [...]

    Number of comments: 10
    Well, I always told myself that if the question passed and I lost I'd still be a happy guy.

    Man, was I wrong. Losing stinks, at least it did last night.

    But things are better this morning, and I'm so glad I went through with the process. I [...]

    I took The Boy to the polls.

    I held his tiny hand as we walked in the Hope Church, checked in, picked up my ballot and ambled over to the booth

    I've done a horrible job blogging on this election, which is too bad because I was really looking forward to the discussion. I don't like posting this on election eve, but I didn't want the season to slip by without fulfilling my long-promised reasons for endorsing James Shanley. Well, there's [...]

    Number of comments: 2
    That's a fair question.

    I've kept the campaigning to a minimum here. That's partly intentional, I never wanted to turn this into the Tom show. But I've also been insanely busy with the new one, work and all the other elements of life. No complaints.

    So I really [...]

    I generally don't have much use for Halloween. Yeah, we carve the pumpkins and give out the candy, but I don't anticipate the day all that much.

    As holidays go, I can take it or leave it. But as days in Newburyport go, it's one of my favorites.
