A Day in the Life

Four friends pose for a picture on their way to The Flying Rhino, one of the many restaurants and bars on Shrewsbury Street. For those of you with a Chicago connection, Shrewsbury Street is probably the closest thing to the Lincoln Park nightlife that Worcester has. Recent improvements to the landscaping on the center of [...]

The kindergarten class performed an adaptation of the Three Billy Goats Gruff at Waweucs Road School. These three bees really gave it to the trolls at the end of the play.
Wawecus is one of the small public grade schools with a good reputation, but the budget crisis for schools across the state continues to threaten [...]

I always feel like I can trust his diagnoses, and I appreciate his extensive explanations of what is wrong with the car and how he plans on fixing it, even if all [...]

After living in Massachusetts for nearly eight years, we finally went to see Plymouth Rock and the replica of the Mayflower. It was fun to hear many different languages being spoken by the other tourists. I had to smile when I saw these Chinese-speaking visitors taking pictures at the Mayflower II—a reminder that all of [...]

A sculpture of a Native American girl (left) overlooks Onset Bay as my wife, Amy (right), waits for me to finish taking the picture.

One of my favorites from Danielle and Walter’s wedding today. As soon as someone at the reception pointed out the full moon just peaking over the horizon, we scrambled down to the beach in time to get this shot. Serendipitous!
The rest of the photos will be coming soon.
