Friday and Saturday were two more action-packed days with Linda and Bob in Chatham, MA. Friday featured a long bike ride, a fabulous sushi dinner, The Chatham Band playing music at the gazebo and ice cream. Saturday started with Beth teaching some yoga (I took her class for the first time in six months), Linda’s …
Thursday was a traveling day on the Cape. The plan was to skip breakfast, drive north and enjoy a day in Wellfleet and Provincetown (P-Town). I had to do a little bit of food shopping for Bradley. Have I mentioned that I cook his food? Yup. The Little Prince has hamburger or turkey meat with …
Since I last checked in, Beth and I have taken part in a pleasant whirlwind of activities with our friends, Bob and Linda here in Cape Cod, MA. At first, I was concerned that we wouldn’t be able to keep up with or fully enjoy the pace of experiences that Bob lined up for us, …
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 …

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. My favorite part of the day was watching Bradley on the trails. At 14, he’s still got great energy and he is very clever navigating boulders, downed trees …
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 …
