Throughout the country, there are many, many men who refer to themselves as Smoothie Kings. Long before the chain of the same name, friends like Rich A. and Bob H. were known in their homes for their prowess with a blender. So, it was with respect for his abilities that Beth and I enjoyed two …
We’ve been busy traveling and hanging out with great people and having lots of fun experiences, so I’m a bit behind on posting. Two days ago we left the glorious White Mountains of New Hampshire. The last two days were the best! On the first day, we hiked with our friends, Nancy and Gerry, on …
Yesterday, I posted a lot and cried a lot. One of the things that made me feel the most was reading all of the comments about Bradley on Facebook and replying to each one. It felt like a community of grief to me and it’s exactly what I wanted and needed. Thank you for being …
My friend Erin, a great animal lover and our friend, was one of the first to learn that Bradley has a highly aggressive form of cancer. Her wisdom was to encourage me to write a letter from Bradley to me. Here it is: Dear Scott, I see how sad you are today. Me too. I …
Our friend and colleague, Melanie R., suggested that we check out Littleton, NH. Rain was in today’s forecast, so off we went! The first thing we saw was a big food co-op that Melanie told us about. We decided to check it out on our way out of town. I thought to myself, “its probably …
Early this morning, we took a 15 mile drive from the White Mountains to Crawford Notch Park. Our goal was to see Arethusa Falls and we succeeded.

We left our camper and Bradley in it at 9:00 am with our bicycles in the back of the truck. Twenty minutes later, we were biking a paved trail in Franconia Notch that, of course, began with an uphill climb. As I reported yesterday, today was to be a trial of our stamina. As it …
We have arrived in the White Mountain National Forest. From the entrance to our small campground in Twin Mountain, NH, we can look left and see Mt. Washington while the North and South Twin Mountains are directly ahead of us. Like Vermont, this area is bursting with green, giving it a very peaceful, hopeful vibe. …
Am I the only one who wants to throw in the towel some days? Of course, not. Millions (if not billions) of us wake up hungry, depressed, in pain, angry or lost. Today, that’s what I feel – lost Sometimes, I can connect the spirit inside of me to the greater Spirit that exists around …
Here in the islands of Lake Champlain, perfectly situated between the Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondacks to the west, the weather changes on a dime. In the three days we’ve been here the temperature has gone back and forth from 55 to 95, the wind has been still or constant and, as …
